Data sources

Please put here the data source

• Mask uses NaturalEarth basemap (Physical Shapefile of land masses, 1:110m), i.e. public domain as far as copyright is concerned. (JR)

• baseline: raw variables for the land, temperature and precipitation daily 1986-2005. https://www.esrl.noaa.gov/psd/data/gridded/data.cpc.globaltemp.html

• The baseline for SST is the "NOAA Optimum Interpolation SST V2 (NOAA OISSTv2) 0.25 degree Dataset." It was constructed by combining observations from satellites, buoys, and ships, and optimally interpolated to provide complete coverage.

And they also ask to say something like this: NOAA High Resolution SST data was provided by the NOAA/OAR/ESRL PSD, Boulder, Colorado, USA, from their Web site at https://www.esrl.noaa.gov/psd/.
