Addressing the World War 2 Warm Anomaly in HadSST.4.2.0.0
We present an update to the Hadley Centre Sea‐Surface Temperature dataset (HadSST.4.2.0.0) that addresses residual warm bias during the Second World War (WW2). Using a quantitative definition of the WW2 warm anomaly we identify Engine Room Intake (ERI) bias corrections as the dominant factor in HadSST4, and use this to propose new constraints on ERI ...

Long‐Term Variability and Spatial Differentiation of the Frost‐Free Period in Iceland
Warming in Iceland (May–September) is expressed as fewer Tmin < 0°C days in the interior and more Tmin > 0°C days along the coasts. ABSTRACT Climate change in subarctic regions leads to significant transformations in thermal conditions; however, the long‐term variability of the frost‐free season (FFS)—and consequently, the growing period—remains poorly
