The data is merged into a monthly global surface temperature dataset dating back from 1850 to the present. The monthly product output is in gridded (5 degree x 5 degree) and time series formats. The product is used in climate monitoring assessments of near-surface temperatures on a global scale. Changes to the data in version 5.1 included: removing the EOT filtering; filling in data gaps over the polar regions; and extending the beginning data coverage from 1880 to 1850. This dataset is for climate research, monitoring and assessment.

The SST dataset is the Extended Reconstructed Sea Surface Temperature (ERSST). The land surface air temperature dataset is similar to ERSST, but uses data from the Global Historical Climatology Network Monthly (GHCNM) database. The data were produced by and are archived at the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI).
