USGS OFR 2011-1246: Moderate-Resolution Sea Surface Temperature Data and Seasonal Pattern Analysis for the Arctic Ocean Ecoregions, Table 1

Open-File Report 2011-1246

Moderate-Resolution Sea Surface Temperature Data and Seasonal Pattern Analysis for the Arctic Ocean Ecoregions

Table 1. R-squared values from simple linear regression statistics between data with quality flag values of 4-7 (BSST) and data with quality flag value of 7 only (Q7SST) for each Arctic ecoregion.

[The only significant difference between them occurs in the High Arctic ecoregion (which is essentially the open Arctic Ocean), which is covered by sea ice for most of the year. Quality flag values on the ice margin generally are lower than 7]
