我们重点介绍了国际海洋-大气综合数据集(ICOADS)在最新版本3.0(R3.0;涵盖1662-2014)中的改进。ICOADS是使用最广泛的免费表层海洋观测资料,为建立海面温度网格分析、估计海-气相互作用和其他气象变量提供了数据。ICOADS的观测被同化到所有主要的大气、海洋和耦合再分析中,进一步扩大了其影响。因此,R3.0版作出了一些修改,旨在使ICOADS、再分析中心、数据集开发人员、科学家和公众之间能够有效地交换描述数据质量的信息。这些用户驱动的创新包括为每一份海洋报告分配一个唯一的识别符(UID)--以便能够追踪观察结果,与报告相联系,并改进数据共享。ICOADS的国际海洋气象档案共同数据格式的其他修订和扩展纳入了新的近地表海洋数据要素和云参数。汇编了许多新的输入数据源,并对现有数据源进行了更新和改进,或删除了错误数据。再加上2014年后增强的初步月度数据和产品延期,R3.0提供了对气候评估和监测、再分析和近实时应用程序的改进支持。
We highlight improvements to the International Comprehensive Ocean-Atmosphere Data Set (ICOADS) in the latest Release 3.0 (R3.0; covering 1662-2014). ICOADS is the most widely used freely available collection of surface marine observations, providing data for the construction of gridded analyses of sea surface temperature, estimates of air-sea interaction and other meteorological variables. ICOADS observations are assimilated into all major atmospheric, oceanic and coupled reanalyses, further widening its impact. R3.0 therefore includes changes designed to enable effective exchange of information describing data quality between ICOADS, reanalysis centres, data set developers, scientists and the public. These user-driven innovations include the assignment of a unique identifier (UID) to each marine report - to enable tracing of observations, linking with reports and improved data sharing. Other revisions and extensions of the ICOADS' International Maritime Meteorological Archive common data format incorporate new near-surface oceanographic data elements and cloud parameters. Many new input data sources have been assembled, and updates and improvements to existing data sources, or removal of erroneous data, made. Coupled with enhanced preliminary' monthly data and product extensions past 2014, R3.0 provides improved support of climate assessment and monitoring, reanalyses and near-real-time applications.
