KAPLAN EXTENDED v1 ssta: SST anomaly data

SST anomaly from KAPLAN EXTENDED v1: Statistically homogenous concatenation of Kaplan et al [1998] OS SST and Reynolds and Smith [1994] NCEP OI analyses; the latter gets degraded to the resolution of the former.

Here are some filters that are useful for manipulating data. There are actually many more available, but they have to be entered manually. See Ingrid Function Documentation for more information.

Monthly Climatology calculates a monthly climatology by averaging over all years.
anomalies calculates the difference between the (above) monthly climatology and the original data.
