This visualisation [WMS] is from NAVOCEANO, which The Naval Oceanographic Office operationally processes real-time Global Area Coverage Advanced Very-High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) data from POES NOAA-14 and NOAA-15. Over 300,000 global Multi-Channel Sea Surface Temperature (MCSST) retrievals are generated and distributed daily in less than 5 hours from the time the satellites acquire the data. Global match-ups of satellite retrievals with drifting buoy measurements of sea surface temperature consistently maintain a global root-mean-square difference error of less than 0.7 oC.
For more information about NAVOCEANO, as well as for links to the data, visit its separate metadata record [http://gcmd.nasa.gov/records/GCMD_NAVOCEANO_MCSST.html].
NB: The Naval Oceanographic Office's global 10 km SST analysis is now available in L4 netcdf format (GDS Version 1 Revision 1.7) on the JPL GDAC.
It is updated daily with the NAVOCEANO operational N-18, N-17, MetOp, and GOES West SSTs, the Remote Sensing Systems orbital AMSRE SSTs, and the JPL 9km climatology.
Please contact bruce.mckenzie@navy.mil with any questions about the data.
