Review of uncertainty in in situ sea-surface temperature measurements

This is a review of uncertainty in in situ sea-surface temperature measurements. A traditional literature review gets out of date quickly and the effort of writing a wholly new review is large. This is an attempt to make a review that can be easily brought up to date as when new papers appear, while maintaining a history of the changes that have been made to it. It would be particularly wonderful if others got involved in updating and otherwise improving the review.

The review is rendered as a regular web page via GitHub pages

The text is based on Kennedy, J. J. (2014), A review of uncertainty in in situ measurements and data sets of sea surface temperature, Rev. Geophys., 52, 132 (http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/2013RG000434/abstract)

How this works

This is still to be worked out in detail. The plan is to use issues as a basis for proposed changes to the text. Small changes can be made immediately where a new paper is published which fits easily into the existing structure. Larger changes can be discussed amongst existing contributors via comments before a larger change is made to the text. New sections can also be proposed and sketched out.

Once sufficient changes have been made, a "release" of the document will be made. This release can be archived and issued a doi via Zenodo. This will mean that the particular release is citable.

Contributing

If you have a GitHub account, you can contribute by raising issues, joining the discussion on existing issues, or forking or cloning the repository to make your own changes. Doing this will ensure that your contributions are logged.

All constructive contributions will be acknowledged as contributors. Those making significant contributions to the text will be added as authors.
