A daily, global Sea Surface Temperature (SST) data set is produced at 1-km by the JPL ROMS (Regional Ocean Modeling System) group. The input SST data sets are derived from the Global High-Resolution Sea Surface Temperature (SST) Pilot Project (GHRSST-PP) and include infrared (IR) sensors AVHRR, Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer or MODIS, the Geostationary Environmental Satellites (GOES), and microwave sensors (e.g., Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer Earth Observing System or AMSR-E), Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission Microwave Imager or TMI. The in-situ SSTs obtained from the Global Ocean Data Assimilation Experiment (GODAE) consisting of thousands of daily ship and buoy SST measurements are also used. The goal is to provide a global optimal estimate of SST at the highest possible spatial resolution.
