To utilize this, scientists at Remote Sensing Systems (RSS) have created two Optimally Interpolated (OI) SST daily products, one using only microwave data at 25 km resolution and one using microwave and infrared data at 9 km resolution. These products are ideal for research activities in which a complete, daily SST map is more desirable than one with missing data due to orbital gaps or environmental conditions precluding SST retrieval. The 25 km microwave OI SST product contains the SST measurements from all operational radiometers. The 9 km microwave and infrared OI SST product combines the through-cloud capabilities of the microwave data with the high spatial resolution and near-coastal capability of the infrared SST data. All SST values are adjusted using a diurnal model to create a foundation SST. Improved global daily near real time (NRT) SSTs are useful for a wide range of scientific and operational activities. onGoing datahelp@ucar.edu pointOfContact daily dataset https://gdex.ucar.edu/images/ds_logos/rss-logo_235_80.png Logo thumbnail from URL png NetCDF4 dataset Resource Type 2021-03-30 revision 4.4 DataCite Metadata Working Group orginator resourceTypeGeneral SATELLITES > SATELLITES U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration Global Change Master Directory GCMD 2026-03-19 revision 23.6 NASA Global Change Master Directory orginator Valids List: Platforms TMI > TRMM Microwave Imager MODIS > Moderate-Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer AMSR-E > Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer-EOS WINDSAT > WindSat AMSR2 > Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer 2 U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration Global Change Master Directory GCMD 2026-03-19 revision 23.6 NASA Global Change Master Directory orginator Valids List: Instruments EARTH SCIENCE > OCEANS > OCEAN TEMPERATURE > SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURE U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration Global Change Master Directory GCMD 2026-03-19 revision 23.6 NASA Global Change Master Directory orginator Valids List: Science and Services Keywords Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License None grid 0.25 0.088 eng utf-8 geoscientificInformation -180.0 180.0 -90.0 90.0 1998-01-01T1200+00 2026-02-25T1200+00 NSF NCAR Geoscience Data Exchange datahelp@ucar.edu https://gdex.ucar.edu distributor 127754.299 https://gdex.ucar.edu/datasets/d277008/ https Dataset Description Related Link information https://gdex.ucar.edu/datasets/d277008/dataaccess/ https Data Access Related Link download none asNeeded
