This way of matching the time series is a choice that we have made - there may be a more appropriate way of doing this for your application. Files are: CSIRO_Recons_gmsl_mo_2011.txt & .csv Reconstruction, 1880 to 2009, monthly CSIRO_Recons_gmsl_yr_2011.txt & .csv Reconstruction, 1880 to 2009, yearly CSIRO_ALT_gmsl_mo_2011.txt & .csv Satellite altimeter data, 1993 to 2009, monthly CSIRO_ALT_gmsl_yr_2011.txt & .csv Satellite altimeter data, 1993 to 2009, yearly The 'Recons' files have three columns: Column 1: time Column 2: GMSL in millimetres Column 3: one standard deviation uncertainty in millimetres.

The 'ALT' files have two columns: Column 1: time Column 2: GMSL in millimetres We normally use ~5mm for the uncertainty for this data. Time formats are: Monthly files: 1880.0417 = Jan 1880 1880.1250 = Feb 1880 . . 1880.9583 = Dec 1880 etc Yearly files: 1880.5 = yearly average for calendar year 1880 1881.5 = yearly average for calendar year 1881 etc Contact me at neil.white@csiro.au if you have any queries about this.
