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.
Please note: This is a research project. Data delivery is not guarenteed. This project
also does not have permenant funding. If you need more information
