Sea Surface Temperature (50 KM)
Entry ID:
gov.noaa.class.SST50
Summary
Abstract:
ABSTRACT: Product shows global sea surface temperatures in degrees C. It is a composite gridded-image derived from 8-km resolution Global SST Observations and is generated twice weekly (Tuesday and Saturday) on a global scale. SST is defined as the skin temperature of the ocean surface water.
CURRENTNESS REFERENCE: ground condition SPATIAL DATA ORGANIZATION INFORMATION Direct Spatial Reference: Raster Raster Object Type: Grid Cell Row Count: 330 Column Count: 720 Fees: Electronic download (FTP) of the data is free. There is a fee for copies of data on physical media. Optical disks are $25.00 per unit and magnetic tape is $100 per unit. Price does not include additional service and handling costs. Purpose: PURPOSE: SST data supports climate research and monitoring, environmental monitoring and ocean/atmospheric models for forecasting. SST data is useful for shipping and sailing activities, commercial and recreational fishing and decision-making for fishery management and coral reef studies.
