Copernicus Climate Change Service Dataset: L4 Sea Surface Temperature Analysis Integrated Climate Data Record (ICDR), version 2.0
Abstract
This Sea Surface Temperature Level 4 Analysis Intermediate Climate Data Record (ICDR) provides a globally-complete daily analysis of sea surface temperature (SST) on a 0.05 degree regular latitude - longitude grid. It combines data from both the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR ) and Sea and Land Surface Temperature Radiometer (SLSTR) Intermediate Climate Data Records, using a data assimilation method to provide SSTs where there were no measurements.
This dataset was produced for the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S). V2.0 extends from 2017-2021.
A historic Climate Data Record (CDR) has also been produced under the ESA Climate Change Initiative Sea Surface Temperature (CCI_sst). This is available as a separate dataset in the CEDA catalogue and through the ESA CCI Open Data Portal.

Process overview
| Title | Derivation of the Copernicus Climate Change Service Dataset: L4 Sea Surface Temperature Analysis Integrated Climate Data Record (ICDR), version 2 |
| Abstract | The L4 Sea Surface Temperature Analysis data contains daily, spatially complete estimated daily SST data, derived using the Operational Sea Surface Temperature and Sea Ice Analysis (OSTIA) processing system. This creates the L4 data from the SLSTR and AVHRR Level 2 and Level 3 data sets also produced in the Copernicus Climate Change project. For further information please see the associated documentation. |
