ESA Sea Surface Salinity Climate Change Initiative (Sea_Surface_Salinity_cci): Weekly and monthly sea surface salinity products from L-band, v5.5

Status: Not defined
Publication State: citable

Abstract

The European Space Agency (ESA) Sea Surface Salinity Climate Change Initiative (CCI) consortium has produced global, level 4, multi-sensor Sea Surface Salinity maps covering the 2010-2023 period.

This dataset collection contains Sea Surface Salinity (SSS) v5.5 data at a spatial resolution of 50km and a time resolution of 1 week. It has been spatially sampled on a regular 0.25° grid and 1 day of time sampling. This product is also available on polar 25 km EASE-2 (Equal Area Scalable Earth) grid.

A monthly product is also available, at a spatial resolution of 50 km and a time resolution of 1 month. It is spatially sampled on a 0.25° grid and 15 days of time sampling. This product is also available on polar 25km EASE-2 grid.

In addition to salinity, information on uncertainties are provided. For more information, see the user guide and product documentation available on the Sea Surface Salinity CCI web page (linked below).
