Dear Jason, I am interested in creating yearly mean SST (from April of one year to March of the next year) by using the Create Climatological Rasters for Pathfinder 5.0. I have done it 2 different ways: 1)
Using a “daily” temporal resolution, and using the “cumulative bin type” – Start and end dates are 01/04/1998 and 31/03/1999 for example. 2)
Using a “monthly” temporal resolution, and using the “cumulative bin type” – Start and end dates are 01/04/1998 and 31/03/1999 for example. The results I obtain by doing this are different. For example, the average SST that I obtain for a certain region using the daily resolution is in average 1.15 degree higher than with the monthly resolution.
And there is a r2 of 0.6 between the results which I attach in
this google spreadsheet just in case you can have a look. Do you know what might be the cause for these differences?
