Summary
Abstract: This data set consists of satellite measurements of global ocean sea surface
temperature (SST) data obtained by the Moderate Resolution Imaging
Spectroradiometer (MODIS), in orbit on the Aqua (formerly EOS PM) platform.
MODIS SST products are processed and distributed by the Ocean Biology
Processing Group (OBPG). The generation of SST products from the MODIS sensors
is performed using the ... View entire text
