TY - Data T1 - A new merge of global surface temperature datasets since the start of the 20th century A1 - LI QingXiang DO - 10.1594/PANGAEA.901295 PY - 2024 DA - 2024-07-26 PB - National Cryosphere Desert Data Center AB - The Global Surface Temperature (ST) dataset is the foundation of global climate change research. Different teams from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NCEI), National Aeronautics and Space Administration (GISS), Met Office Hadley Centre and UEA CRU, as well as Berkeley Earth, have developed multiple global surface temperature datasets. This study proposes a new global ST dataset called "China Consolidated Surface Temperature (CMST)". CMST is a fusion of China's land surface temperature (C-LSAT1.3) and extended reconstructed sea surface temperature (ERSSTv5) sea surface temperature (SST) data. The merger of C-LSAT and ERSSTv5 shows high spatial coverage extending to high latitudes, and is more consistent with the average reference of multiple datasets in polar regions. Comparison shows that from 1900 to 2017, the interannual, decadal, and long-term trends of CMST are consistent with other existing global ST datasets at the global, hemisphere, and regional scales. The CMST dataset can be used for global climate change assessment, monitoring, and detection. DB - NCDC UR - http://www.ncdc.ac.cn/portal/metadata/e33af632-7ffb-41c4-91ce-46986c15d022 ER -
