Monthly Pacific Ocean Sea Temperature

Monthly-mean Pacific sea-surface temperature analyses for 1949 to 1962 were compiled by the U.S. Bureau of Commercial Fisheries from observations obtained from the National Weather Records Center. Early years contained about 5000 observations per month, and that number increased to 15,000 by the end of the period. The grid covers the global area north of 20 south latitude.
