Sea-surface temperature reconstructions, variability and links with climate change

Sea-surface temperature reconstructions, variability and links with climate change; related air-sea fluxes and interaction in the North Atlantic, in collaboration with the Icelandic Meteorological Office and Marine Research Institute in Reykjavik (Hanna et al, Journal of Climate, 2006).

Part of this work involved the derivation of a new North Icelandic Sea-Surface Temperature series (NIceSST) spanning 1875-2006, which is available as an Excel file (see link right).
