The pair also developed a new calculation method to convert this GMST, which is a blend of sea surface temperatures and air temperatures, into a single global surface air temperature (GSAT).

Sea surface temperatures are vital measurements that indicate the warmth of the ocean's top layer, influencing weather patterns, climate, and marine ecosystems.

Global sea surface temperatures rose sharply in March and continued to rise during much of April, and oceanographers and climate scientists are watching with trepidation.
