ICOADS, 2-degree, Enhanced, Monthly, 1800-present

This dataset has the 2-degree, Global, Enhanced, simple gridded monthly summary product (1800 to present) from the International Comprehensive Ocean-Atmosphere Data Set (ICOADS), the most extensive collection of surface marine data. Temporal Coverage: * Monthly values for 1800/01 - 2007/12. * Preliminary monthly values for 2008/01 - present. IMPORTANT: The time period of these products is defined in two segments. 1. Release 2.5 1800 through 2007 2. Following the Release 2.5 end date data are based exclusively on real-time GTS data with minimal quality control. These data should be considered preliminary and will be subject to change in new releases.
