-
The through-cloud capabilities of satellite microwave radiometers
provides a valuable picture of the global sea surface temperature
(SST). To utilize this, scientists at Remote Sensing Systems (RSS)
have created two Optimally Interpolated (OI) SST daily products, one
using only microwave data at 25 km resolution and one using
microwave and infrared data at 9 km resolution. These products are
ideal for research activities in which a complete, daily SST map is
more desirable than one with missing data due to orbital gaps or
environmental conditions precluding SST retrieval. The 25 km
microwave OI SST product contains the SST measurements from all
operational radiometers. The 9 km microwave and infrared OI SST
product combines the through-cloud capabilities of the microwave
data with the high spatial resolution and near-coastal capability of
the infrared SST data. All SST values are adjusted using a diurnal
model to create a foundation SST. Improved global daily near real
time (NRT) SSTs are useful for a wide range of scientific and
operational activities.
