GHRSST Level 4 OSTIA Global Historical Reprocessed Foundation Sea Surface Temperature Analysis produced by the UK Meteorological Office

Description

The Operational Sea Surface Temperature and Sea Ice Analysis Reprocessed (OSTIA-REP) is a GHRSST reprocessed Level-4 sea surface temperature and ice-concentration analysis produced by the UK Met Office (UKMO) using optimal interpolation (OI) on a global 0.05 degree grid. It is a sister product of the Near Real Time version (OSTIA-NRT), but incorporates satellite data from over 25 different SST sensors as well as in situ data from drifting and moored buoys. The OSTIA-REP is produced on a biannual frequency when more satellite and climatology observations are available from existing geostationary IR, and polar orbiting IR and MW satellites in addition to the data used in OSTIA-NRT.

While OSTIA-NRT is produced to mainly serve as a lower boundary condition in Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) models, this OSTIA-REP aims to provide a more accurate and consistent record of SST measurements over time, which is crucial for detecting long-term climate trends and variability. Both versions follow GHRSST Data Processing Specification (GDS) version 2 format guidelines.

Data to June 2022 are also distributed through the E.U. Copernicus Marine Service Information (https://marine.copernicus.eu/, DOI: https://doi.org/10.48670/moi-00168 with the following license). Please refer to the user guide for more information.
