Release 2.5 (Preliminary) sea surface temperature (SST) data continuity questions
Fig. 1 provides a 4-panel comparison plot between preliminary Release 2.5 data and Release 2.4 data (2° enhanced monthly summaries in both cases) for a selected 20-year focus period (for details on the 4-panel plot layout see icoads.noaa.gov/panels.html; note that a minimum of 1000 nobs are required per month, or all curves are omitted to ensure meaningful data patterns). The remaining plots explore some of the noteworthy data-difference patterns on a deck-by-deck basis for selected periods or subperiods.Discussion
Note: "main" figure references are to the parent [Release 2.5 (Preliminary) Data Characteristics].
a. The period around 1961-64 (Fig. 1) shows the largest near-global patterns of reduced SST, followed by patterns of slightly elevated SST 1965-67. The largest change in data mixture during 1961-64 (see main Fig. 4c) appears to come from UK MDB deck 254 ("Int. Maritime Met. (IMM) Data (foreign or unknown origin)"), which, judging from that name, originated from keyed logbook reports exchanged under the Marine Climatological Summaries Scheme (MCSS) as initiated by WMO in 1963. Interestingly, during the 1960s (for unknown reasons) deck 254 primarily covers MCSS Areas of Responsibility other than that of the US (see sharp data cut-off patterns in main Fig. 3g3). Decks from other countries that match deck 254 in some cases contain more complete information such as a form of ship ID (e.g., Annex).
Proposed action:b. Some truncated SST observations were also found in deck 254 compared to duplicate reports from deck 128 (a US version of the IMM data; see Fig. 4 and Annex), but without any evident impact on near-global difference patterns (Fig. 1). Based on additional evidence (including Fig. 2e), this problem appears confined to 1968-69 and to US-recruited ship reports (and thus for which more original data should be available from deck 128 and possibly other US decks).
During the entire period of record, adjust dupelim rules to preferentially select most other decks (excepting e.g. deck 732 "Russian MORMET" and deck 901 "FOSDIC Reconstructions"; ref. Fig. 3) over deck 254 in the event of near-equivalent matches. However, deck 254 also appears to be contributing substantial amounts of unique new data (e.g., during 1961-63; see main Fig. 4c), which will be retained, and it is unknown what impact this action might have on the SST patterns.
Proposed action:
During 1968-69, delete all SST observations from deck 254 reports with US country code (C1=2). This will eliminate any such truncated SST values, and help ensure that deck 254 generally is not selected when more original US data sources are instead available.
Figure 1
Figure 2a. Bars show percentage frequency (left axis) of SST tenths values per deck (all ICOADS deck numbers are listed in Tables D6a-D6c). The line (right axis) indicates the total number of observations per deck during the period (note: log scale). Decks are ranked left to right from the lowest frequency to highest. Deck believed to contribute most heavily to anomaly changes: Deck 254 (Int. Maritime Met. (IMM) Data (foreign or unknown origin)). One noteworthy numerical pattern shown in this figure is the lack of a tenths position of 5 for some data, which we believe typically arises from conversion from whole degrees Fahrenheit to 0.1 degrees Celsius (with rounding).
Figure 2b. Bars show percentage frequency (left axis) of SST tenths values per year. The line (right axis) indicates the total number of observations per year (note: log scale).
Figure 2c. Bars show percentage frequency (left axis) of deck 254 SST tenths values per C1 (country code). The line (right axis) indicates the total number of deck 254 observations per C1 during the period (note: log scale). C1s are ranked left to right from the lowest frequency to highest.

Figure 2d. (See Figure 2b for plot explanation.) Deck 254 only.
Figure 2e. (See Figure 2b for plot explanation.) Deck 254, C1 2 only.
Figure 2f. (See Figure 2c for plot explanation.) For the 1980-97 period, UK MDB deck 254 was previously blended into ICOADS (originally as part of Release 2.0). At that time we did not note any systematic adverse data impacts from dupelim involving deck 254, but this question should probably be revisited as resources permit.
Figure 3. Bars show the percentage frequency (left axis) of SST observation (a1) trimming flag (SF) value. Specifically, where a1 is the individual observation under scrutiny, g is the smoothed median, and s1 and s5 are the smoothed lower and upper median deviation:
| F = data missing or not computable |
| E = data unusable (SF, AF, and PF, only) |
| D = landlocked 2-degree box |
| C = limits missing (ocean/coastal box) |
| 7 = greater than 4.5 sigma upper limit (a1 > g + 4.5*s5) |
| 6 = less than 4.5 sigma lower limit (a1 < g - 4.5*s1) |
| 5 = greater than 3.5 sigma upper limit (g + 3.5*s5 < a1 <= g + 4.5*s5) |

| 1 = within 2.8 sigma limits (g - 2.8*s1 <= a1 <= g + 2.8*s5) |
