Sea surface temperature is one of the key variables scientists track in studying climate changes; it is also important to meteorology and oceanography. Merchant et al . describe a new 20‐year record of sea surface temperature. The record was created using infrared imagery from the Along‐Track Scanning Radiometers (ATSR) as part of the ATSR Reprocessing for Climate (ARC) project.
