Abstract

This dataset provides gridded Sea Surface Temperature data derived from the Advance Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) series of satellites. Data is available separately for the AVHRR instruments on NOAA-19, METOP-A and METOP-B.

This dataset is produced as an Intermediate Climate Data Record 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 catalgoue and through the ESA CCI Open Data Portal.

Citable as:  [ PROVISIONAL ] (9999): Copernicus Climate Change Service Dataset: Sea Surface Temperature Integrated Climate Data Record (ICDR) from the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR), Level 3C (L3C), version 2.0.
