Surface meteorological observations from ships in the southwestern Atlantic Ocean: An statistical quality control

Surface marine meteorological observations made on board ships that navigate in the Southwestern Atlantic Ocean are regularly collected and verified at the Meteorological Department of the Naval Hydrographic Service of Argentina (DMSHN). The database that contains this information spans from 1950 to...

The database that contains this information spans from 1950 to present.

The sensitivity of the results to the definition of the statistical limits upon different climatic periods, grid spatial resolution and statistical criteria is analyzed. Finally, the resulting seasonal mean values of sea surface temperature and sea level pressure are compared to those obtained with global marine databases. © 2017 Centro Argentino de Meteorologos. 2017 https://bibliotecadigital.exactas.uba.ar/collection/paper/document/paper_0325187X_v42_n2_p3_Palastanga http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12110/paper_0325187X_v42_n2_p3_Palastanga
