Description:
A variety of data sets were available and analyzed. The data sets discussed here are: (1) SMMR-A: The Nimbus Project data release; (2) SMMR-D: The revised SMMR version produced by Wilheit and Milman; (3) SMMR-C: The SMMR version produced by Prabhakara; (4) Fleet Numerical Oceanography Center (PNOC): The individual ship reports; and (5) Reynolds Climatology. Data from SMMR and PNOC ships were compared in three different ways: (1) The difference between individual ship and SMMR observations which were close in space and time. (2) The difference between the 20 degree lat-lon one month averages for SMMR and ship, respectively. (3) The difference between the 20 degree averages and climatology, for both SMMR and ship.
