The NOAA Global Surface Temperature Dataset (NOAAGlobalTemp) is a monthly global merged land-ocean surface temperature analysis product that is derived from two independent analyses. The first is the Extended Reconstructed Sea Surface Temperature (ERSST) analysis and the second is a land surface air temperature (LSAT) analysis that uses the Global Historical Climatology Network - Monthly (GHCN-M) temperature database. The NOAAGlobalTemp data set contains global surface temperatures in gridded (5° × 5°) and monthly resolution time series (from 1850 to present time) data files. The product is used in climate monitoring assessments of near-surface temperatures on a global scale. This version, v6.0, an updated version to the current operational release v5.1, is implemented by an Artificial Neural Network method to improve the surface temperature reconstruction over the land.
