Sea Surface Temperature monitoring in Italian Seas: analysis of long-term trends and short-term dynamics

Picone M., Orasi A., Nardone G.
Abstract:
The aim of this paper is to give an overview of the various elements that contribute to the observation of Sea Surface Temperature in Italian Seas. Long term time series are collected since the 19th century but are affected by a large systematic errors. Despite the lack of accuracy, their contribution to the analysis of trends is fundamental into the climate change context. On the other hand, recent systematic observations are more accurate and continuous in space and time. Short term time series better define the status of the temperature during the last years in term of variability and dynamics.
