- Please note: If you acquire NOAA_ERSST_V3b data products from PSD, we ask that you acknowledge us in your use of the data. This may be done by including text such as NOAA_ERSST_V3b data provided by the NOAA/OAR/ESRL PSD, Boulder, Colorado, USA, from their Web site at http://www.esrl.noaa.gov/psd/ in any documents or publications using these data. We would also appreciate receiving a copy of the relevant publications. This will help PSD to justify keeping the NOAA_ERSST_V3b data set freely available online in the future. Thank you!
