Description
A Group for High Resolution Sea Surface Temperature (GHRSST) dataset for the North Atlantic Region (NAR) derived from the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) on the European Meteorological Operational-B (MetOp-B) platform (launched 17 Sep 2012).
The European Organization for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites (EUMETSAT),
Ocean and Sea Ice Satellite Application Facility (OSI SAF) is producing SST products in near real
time from Metop/AVHRR and SNPP/VIIRS. Global AVHRR level 1b data are acquired at Meteo-
France/Centre de Meteorologie Spatiale (CMS) through the EUMETSAT/EUMETCAST system.
NAR SNPP/VIIRS level 0 data are acquired through direct readout and converted into l1b at CMS.
SST is retrieved from the AVHRR and VIIRS infrared channels using a multispectral algorithm.
This product is delivered as four six hourly collated files per day on a regular 2km grid. The
product format is compliant with the GHRSST Data Specification (GDS) version 2.
