| Description | |
| Summary | Monthly mean fields of night marine air temperature (NMAT, degrees C) from 1856 through to last month. Quasi-global coverage on a 5° latitude x 5° longitude grid. Supersedes MOHMAT data sets. Quasi-global NMAT fields were created using a variety of techniques including Reduced Space Optimal Interpolation (RSOI). The HadMAT1 data set has been shown to be an improvement upon (and has superseded) the MOHMAT data set. |
