New Zealand OISST data from 14 coastal locations

The following MATLAB .mat file ( sponge_data_oisst_v2.mat) contains daily records of sea surface temperature spanning 01 Jan 1992 to 31 May 2022 from 14 locations around the New Zealand coastline, extracted from the OISST data set (https://doi.org/10.25921/RE9P-PT57), as analysed in Bell et al. (2022). Also included are MATLAB .m files to (1) extract daily time series of SST from a local copy of the global OISST netcdf files (bell_etal_extract_OISST.m) and (2) undertake the analysis of marine heatwaves in the sponge_data_oisst_v2.mat subset of these data (bell_etal_analyze_OISST.m), as performed in Bell et al. (2022). We acknowledge the NOAA OI SST V2 High Resolution Dataset provided by the NOAA PSL, Boulder, Colorado, USA, from their website at https://psl.noaa.go
