Satellite Sea Surface Temperature Global Charts (1 degree Isotherms at 100 km Resolution)
Entry ID:
gov.noaa.ncdc.C00258
Summary
Abstract:
The Multichannel Sea Surface Temperature (MCSST) algorithm uses satellite derived SST observations to compute an SST value at the intersection of each latitude/longitude grid line. Using this information, 1 degree isotherms, having a spatial resolution of 100km, are plotted on sets of 1 degree charts. Originally, eighteen charts were required to provide global coverage. Sixteen of the charts were ...
 Purpose: To make a wide range of climatic data available to researchers and the public. CURRENTNESS REFERENCE: Ground Condition Pricing is dependent on customer order specifications. Please contact NCDC for information on fees and terms for retrieving the Data Set or Product.
