| HuID: | 72086 | |
| Relevant Year(s): | 2019 | |
| Summary: | Temperature increase of the upper 700 m of the ocean relative to the average temperature during reference years 1958-1962. | |
| Method: | Values are processed from the source by subtracting the reported 1958-1962 average temperature, making the 1958-1962 period the reference. The original estimates are based on historical data, additional modern data, bathythermograph data corrected for instrumental biases and Argo data.
The uncertainty reported is the 95% confidence interval of the temperature change with respect to the reference temperature (average temperature during pentadal period 1958-1962) rounded to one significant figure. Uncertainty is obtained from the summary statistics provided in the original source, assuming worst-case scenario for correlation among variables. |
