International Comprehensive Ocean-Atmosphere Data Set (ICOADS)

Surface marine observational records from ships, buoys, and other platform types are processed and binned creating monthly global and regional grids of the observations along with processing statistics such as stand deviation and number of obs. Data starts back as far as 1662 and some grids are update to the present.
