Overview
Near-surface temperature observations from Argo profiling floats have been used to validate various global SST analyses and their daily ensemble median, known as the GMPE (GHRSST Multi-Product Ensemble) median product.
Argo observations between 3-5 m depth have been used, and the analyses have been regridded to the Argo locations to create the matchups.
Plots for OSTIA and the GMPE median are shown for various ocean regions for a rolling 18-month window.
These pages are updated on the first of the month for the previous-but-one month using Argo data from the Met Office Hadley Centre EN4 database.
The GMPE ensemble median product is freely available through CMEMS (external link).
Global comparisons to Argo for GMPE analyses
NOTE: The following datafiles have been exluded from the plots due to corrupted data files:
The NAVO_K10 datafiles for days 2021/07/22 and 2021/07/23.
The DMI_OI datafiles for days 2021/07/21-24 and 2021/07/27.
