Zonal and Meridional Discontinuities and Other Issues with the HadISST1.1 Dataset

Creator:: Chelton, Dudley B. and Risien, Craig M.
Abstract:: 3) The standard deviations of the SST anomalies in the HadISST1.1 dataset are 0.2–0.4°C smaller prior to 1949 than after 1949. This nonstationarity could complicate interpretations of the long HadISST1.1 data record for some studies of climate variability. It is likely attributable mostly to the improved sampling of SST observations...
