Global analyses of sea surface temperature, sea ice, and night marine air temperature since the late nineteenth century
[1] We present the Met Office Hadley Centre's sea ice and sea surface temperature (SST) data set, HadISST1, and the nighttime marine air temperature (NMAT) data set, HadMAT1. HadISST1 replaces the…
