Dataset
EUSTACE / CCI: Global clear-sky sea surface temperature from the (A)ATSR series at 0.25 degrees with estimates of uncertainty components, v1.2, 1991-2012
Abstract
This dataset consists of Sea Surface Temperature data with uncertainty estimates, from the Along Track Scanning Radiometer series of satellite instruments (ATSR-1, ATSR-2 and AATSR). It forms part of the collection of datasets from the EUSTACE (EU Surface Temperature for All Corners of Earth) project, which is producing publically available daily estimates of surface air temperature since 1850 across the globe for the first time by combining surface and satellite data using novel statistical techniques.
The Sea Surface Temperature data provided here were retrieved in the context of the European Space Agency's (ESA's) Climate Change Initiative (CCI) Sea Surface Temperature (SST) project, and comprise a Level 3c gridded product, on a 0.25 degree grid. This v1.2 product was provided for input into the EUSTACE project. It is provided here for traceability; more recent CCI data is available from the SST CCI catalogue pages.
