ARCSS Surface Air Temperature (ARCSS-SAT) Analysis
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/106.308

Summary
This data set contains the analysis of the best estimate of surface air
temperature (SAT) over the Arctic Ocean in 12-hourly gridded fields from
1979-2008. The gridded fields are based on in situ observations from manned
drifting stations, and buoy observations that have been quality controlled.
These observations have been optimally interpolated, following the procedures
of Rigor et al. 2000, using the National Centers for Environmental
Prediction/National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCEP/NCAR) Reanalysis 1
(R1) as a first guess field. The analysis adjusts a warm bias exhibited by R1
in comparison to manned drifting station data over the Arctic Ocean, and
improves the International Arctic Buoy Programme (IABP) / Polar Exchange at
the Sea Surface (POLES) SAT analysis. This data set is preliminary pending
review of manuscript documenting the analysis.
