    comments :
    The extended reconstructed sea surface temperature (ERSST) was constructed using the most recently available Comprehensive Ocean-Atmosphere Data Set (COADS) SST data and improved statistical methods that allow stable reconstruction using sparse data. Currently, ERSST version 2 (ERSST.v2) and version 3 (ERSST.v3) and ERSST.v3b) are available from NCDC. ERSST.v3b is an improved extended reconstruction over version 2. but with no satellite data
