abstract	The European Space Agency (ESA) Climate Change Initiative Sea Surface Temperature project (ESA SST_cci) has accurately determined the surface temperature of the global oceans over the period 1981 to 2016 using observations from many satellites. The data provide independently quantified sea surface temperatures (SSTs) to a quality suitable for climate research. This GHRSST (Group for High Resolution Sea Surface Temperature) Multi-Product Ensemble (GMPE) dataset was produced by the ESA SST_cci project to facilitate comparison of its own spatially complete analyses with other level 4 SST analysis products. It provides the median and standard deviation of the ensemble of input analyses, differences between the individual analyses and the median, and gradients in the input data and the median. The outputs are provided on a 0.25˚ regular latitude-longitude grid. The product extends from 1 September 1981 to 31 December 2016. The product was generated using the following inputs: ESA SST_cci Analysis version 2.0; ESA SST_cci Analysis version 1.1; E.U. Copernicus Marine Environment Monitoring Service (CMEMS) SST information (the Operational Sea Surface Temperature and Sea Ice Analysis (OSTIA) Reprocessing); National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) Optimal Interpolation (OI) Global Blended SST Analysis; Canada Meteorological Center (CMC) 0.2-degree Global Foundation SST Analysis; Hadley Centre Sea Ice and Sea Surface Temperature (HadISST) Analysis version 2.2.0.0 (10 realisations); Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) Merged satellite and in-situ Data Global Daily SST (MGDSST) Analysis. Full details of the data used to generate this product are provided in the associated documentation.
