Global Surface Marine Monthly Statistics - Latest

Choose another month:




Statistics on global surface marine meteorological and oceanographic data are compiled monthly by personnel of NOAA's
NWS/NCEP/Central Operations. These data include those which are observed/measured by ships (including those vessels that are part of the
U.S. Voluntary Observing Ship Project), moored and drifting buoys, Coastal Marine Automated Network (CMAN) stations, and tide gauge stations
(tide gauge data are provided by NOAA's National Ocean Service/Center for Operational Oceanographic Products and Services (NOS/CO-OPS)).
Separate statistics are compiled monthly for specified vessels in the Gulf of Alaska and for specificed member vessels of the
International SeaKeepers Society. The data for which these statistics are compiled include sea-level pressure, air temperature, and wind direction
and speed (for the surface meteorological data), and sea surface temperature (for the oceanographic data).

Only 1 year's worth of statistics will be available at any given time on this web site. Please note that the monthly statistics are updated on
the first business day of each month. I.e. if the 1st falls on a weekend or on a Federal Government holiday, the statistics are updated on the first
business day which follows the weekend the or holiday.

The global monthly statistics are sent to the UKMet Office in Bracknell, England each month (the UKMet Office has been designated by the
World Meteorological Organization (WMO) as the lead center for monitoring surface marine observations), where they are consolidated with
additional statistics and forwarded to platform managers. The platform managers may then investigate platforms listed in the statistics to see if
instrumentation needs to be corrected. Please note that the statistical files available via this web site are not indentical to those passed to
Bracknell, in that the ship/platform names are included in the files on this web site (they are not included in the Bracknell files).

The monthly statistics produced for the Gulf of Alaska vessels and for the International SeaKeepers Society vessels are made available to those
program managers via this web site, so that they may evaluate the performance of select vessels in their area of interest.

All of the monthly statistics are computed using differences between the observed data and first guess fields from one of 2 NWS numerical
models. This file explains the method of comparison between the data and first guess fields, and also provides the criteria used in determining
which platforms will be listed in the NCEP Central Operations (NCO) global marine statistics each month.

Standard of Comparison

Data from each platform (ships, moored (fixed) buoys, drifting buoys, CMAN platforms, and tide gauge stations) are compared to forecasts from
one of 2 NWS numerical models for each of 4 daily synoptic periods. Each synoptic period is a 6 hour window centered on the times given in the
table below. The first guess valid times are also given below. All data observed/measured during each synoptic period are compared to the first
guess valid for that synoptic period. The first guess is interpolated to the platform's location and differences between observation and first guess
are computed. Differences between observed data and forecasts are archived four times daily.

Synoptic Period Numerical Model Used First Guess Valid Time
0000 UTC 6-hour forecast from the 1800 UTC run of NWS's Global Data Assimilation System (GDAS) 0000 UTC
0600 UTC 6-hour forecast from the 0000 UTC run of GDAS 0600 UTC
1200 UTC 6-hour forecast from the 0600 UTC run of GDAS 1200 UTC
1800 UTC 6-hour forecast from the 1200 UTC run of GDAS 1800 UTC


If the GDAS is unavailable for a particular synoptic period, a 6-hour forecast from the previous run of NWS's Global Forecast System (GFS) is
used instead.

Each synoptic period includes data with observation times +/- 3 hours as follows:

Synoptic Period Observation Times of Data
0000 UTC 2100 UTC (previous day) through 0259 UTC
0600 UTC 0300 UTC through 0859 UTC
1200 UTC 0900 UTC through 1459 UTC
1800 UTC 1500 UTC through 2059 UTC


No time interpolation between observed data and first guess is done (i.e. an observation from 1000 UTC or 1400 UTC will be compared to a first
guess valid at 1200 UTC).

Criteria for specific parameters

  • Global monthly statistics:

    For each of the 5 parameters (sea-level pressure, air temperature, wind speed, wind direction, and sea surface temperature) included
    in the monthly statistics, the following criteria must be met in order for a particular platform to be listed in the NCO global monthly
    statistics

    Sea-level pressure (slp):

    • 20 or more slp observations for the month, and 1 or more of the following:
      • absolute value of bias (mean difference between observation and forecast) is at least 4.0 mb
      • standard deviation of difference is at least 6.0 mb
      • percentage of reports that were gross errors is at least 25% of the total number of reports received for this parameter (see Definition of gross errors, below).

    Air temperature:

    • 20 or more air temperature observations for the month, and 1 or more of the following:
      • absolute value of bias is at least 4.0 deg C
      • standard deviation of difference is at least 6.0 deg C
      • percentage of reports that were gross errors is at least 25% of the total number of reports received for this parameter.

    Wind direction:

    • 20 or more wind direction observations for the month, and 1 or more of the following:
      • absolute value of bias is at least 30.0 degrees
      • standard deviation of difference is at least 80.0 degrees
      • percentage of reports that were gross errors is at least 25% of the total number of reports received for this parameter.

    Wind speed:

    • 20 or more wind speed observations for the month, and 1 or more of the following:
      • absolute value of bias is at least 5.0 m/s
      • percentage of reports that were gross errors is at least 25% of the total number of reports received for this parameter.

    Sea surface temperature (sst):

    • 20 or more sst observations for the month, and 1 or more of the following:
      • absolute value of bias is at least 4.0 deg C
      • standard deviation of difference is at least 6.0 deg C
      • percentage of reports that were gross errors is at least 25% of the total number of reports received for this parameter.

  • Gulf of Alaska monthly statistics and International SeaKeepers Society monthly statistics:

    Specific callsigns were given to NCO to indicate those vessels which are to be included in these monthly statistics. No other criteria must
    be met, except that the vessels must have at least one observation during the desired month. If a vessel reports only once during a
    specific month, then the bias for any reported parameter is not a mean bias but is merely the difference between observed and first guess
    values for that parameter. Standard deviation is only computed when a vessel has 2 or more reports for any particular parameter in the
    month. As with the global monthly statistics, gross errors are not included in computations of bias or standard deviation (see Definition
    of gross errors
    below).

With the exception of wind direction, the bias for each parameter is always computed as (observed data - first guess). A mean difference bias for
slp of -4.8 mb would mean that the observed slp for that platform is, on average, 4.8 mb lower than the first guess slp. Also, a low standard
deviation (SD) of the difference would mean that the platform's bias is consistent (the closer to 0 the SD is, the more consistent that platform is
for that parameter). For example, if the slp bias was -4.8 mb and standard deviation of the difference was 1.0, that would imply that the platform
consistently was around 4.8 mb too low with its slp. If the SD is high, then the platform has a lot of variability for the parameter in question, with
with regards to its comparison with the first guess.

Calculation of bias and standard deviation for wind direction

For platforms reporting wind direction that is consistently close to 180 degrees off the first guess wind direction, using the regular algorithm of
(observed wind direction - first guess wind direction) would result in a very large SD and bias, which would make it difficult to detect the wind
direction error. The ideal for this situation would be to have a small SD with a bias on the order of 180 degrees. This is possible with the use of
the algorithm used by Meteo-France's Centre for Marine Meteorology (Centre de Meteorologie Marine (CMM)) in computation of wind direction
statistics for moored and drifting buoys. This algorithm computes bias and SD for the following series:

  • (Obs - FG)
  • (Obs + 90) - FG
  • (Obs - 90) - FG
  • (Obs + 180) - FG

where Obs = observed wind direction and FG = first guess wind direction.

The bias and SD are computed for each of the above 4 series. The smallest of the 4 SD values is selected and then (bias - i) (where i is 0, 90, -90,
and 180, respectively) is selected as the actual bias if the series ((Obs + i) - FG) was the series associated with the smallest SD. See the following
table for more details.

If smallest SD is computed for Bias used is
(Obs - FG) bias = ((bias of (obs - FG)) - 0)
((Obs + 90) - FG) bias = ((bias of ((obs + 90) - FG)) - 90)
((Obs - 90) - FG) bias = ((bias of ((obs - 90) - FG)) - (-90))
((Obs + 180) - FG) bias = ((bias of ((obs + 180) - FG)) - 180)


Using this algorithm for all wind direction bias and SD computations will ensure that the most accurate representation of the difference between
observed wind direction and first guess wind direction will be used and displayed in the monthly statistics.

Sample lines from global monthly statistics (and explanation)

The above lines were taken from the global monthly statistics produced for August 2024. The platform shown has the callsign 3FFA5. Its name
is MSC Divina. The letters SHP in the TYPE column indicate that the platform is a ship (see Platform types seen in monthly statistics below).
The number of reports used in calculation of the sea-level pressure statistics for ship 3FFA5 is 50. The mean difference is 11.9 mb and the
standard deviation of the difference is 2.1 mb. The number of gross errors for sea-level pressure from ship 3FFA5 is 3 (see Definition of gross
errors
below). Please note that the total number of sea-level pressure reports received from ship 3FFA5 for the month of August is 53
(the sum of the numbers listed under NO. REPORTS and # GROSS ERR as seen above).

Caveat

Please note that a platform's appearance in the monthly statistics does not necessarily mean that the platform's data are bad. A high bias can be
indicative of a persistent problem with the first guess at the platform's lcoation. While the model's grid resolution and topogoraphical resolution are
1 degree x 1 degree, this is still not fine enough to depict small-scale local meteorological and oceanographic effects. In addition, the first guess, in
general, performs more poorly in the Southern Hemisphere than in the Northern Hemisphere, due to lower data counts (much less land south of
the Equator, so not nearly as many land-based surface and upper air observations, plus major shipping lanes are primarily in the Northern
Hemisphere).

Definition of gross errors

An observation is considered to be a gross error if it differs from the first guess by the following values:

slp abs(obs - fcst) ≥ 15.0 mb
air temperature abs(obs - fcst) ≥ 15.0 deg C
wind direction abs(obs - fcst) ≥ 100 degrees
wind speed abs(obs - fcst) ≥ 15.0 m/s
sst abs(obs - fcst) ≥ 15.0 deg C



abs: absolute value
obs: observation
fcst: forecast (first guess)



By convention, gross errors are not used in the computation of the mean difference or standard deviation.

Platform types seen in monthly statistics

Abbreviation Type
SHP ship
DB drifting buoy
FB fixed (moored) buoy
CMN CMAN platform
TG tide gauge station



Statistics are not computed for platforms with the following callsigns: 'SHIP', 'BUOY', 'BBXX', 'PLAT', 'RIGG', or 'METEO'. These callsigns are not
unique (i.e. more than one platform may have the same callsign), so statistics for these callsigns would be meaningless.

Ship and Platform Names

The ship and platform names are obtained from several sources. Since callsigns and ship names change from time to time, a particular callsign
may be associated with 2 or more different names, or a ship name may be associated with several callsigns. Although we will update the names
file several times a year, we may not know which callsign/name is current.

A good web site for querying ship names and/or callsigns is that of the Ship-Of-Opportunity Programme (SOOP), which is a joint program of the
WMO and the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC). On the OceanOps dashboard, click "Enter Dashboard". In the upper left
"Search" bar, one may enter a full or partial ship name or callsign, and an attempt will be made to find a match on either.

Additional Marine Data/Information

If you are seeking climatological marine data such as average temperature, wave heights, or prevailing winds for a particular oceanographic
region, please contact NOAA's National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI). For marine forecasts, please contact NOAA/NWS/NCEP's
Ocean Prediction Center (OPC).
