Description

Sea surface temperature data set from January 1950 to December 2018 observed by the extended reconstructed sea surface temperature

Usage

Format

An object of class sfts.

Details

These averaged monthly sea surface temperatures are measured by the different moored buoys in the "Nino region" defined by the coordinates 0-10 degree South and 90-80 degree West.
