Sea Surface Temperature (Near Real Time)

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.

GLOBAL ANOMALY MONITOR

Quickly explore how sea surface temperature and height change over time with newly added real-time figures on the CMAP homepage. These figures use Simons CMAP satellite datasets to show the anomaly time series of Sea Surface Temperature (SST) and Absolute Dynamic Topography (ADT) from the current month to 35+ ago.
