GHRSST: Group for High Resolution Sea Surface Temperature
The Group for High-Resolution Sea Surface Temperature (SST; GHRSST) provides a new generation of global high-resolution (10km) SST products to the operational oceanographic, meteorological, climate and general scientific community. The products are provided at a variety of processing levels including "gap-free" global grids. Each SST grid point must have associated with it six associated fields that allow users to assess quality.
Key Strengths
Very high resolution(s)
Quality information on a grid point basis
Key Limitations
Short time series
