Dataset Description

The Sea Surface Temperature dataset in CMAP is the GHRSST Level 4 AVHRR_OI Global Blended Sea Surface Temperature Analysis (GDS version 2) from NCEI. This data product has a 1/4° X 1/4° degree gridded spatial resolution with global ocean coverage at a 1 day temporal interval. The dataset is derived from a combination of multiple AVHRR (Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer) satellites along with in-situ sst measurements from ship and buoy measurements. These data sources are optimally interpolated to produce a complete smoothed grid.

The PODAAC JPL NASA short name for this dataset is: AVHRR_OI-NCEI-L4-GLOB-v2.0.
