Credit Australia’s Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) is enabled by the National Collaborative Research Infrastructure Strategy (NCRIS). It is operated by a consortium of institutions as an unincorporated joint venture, with the University of Tasmania as Lead Agent. Credit Australian Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) Credit CSIRO Marine and Atmospheric Research (CMAR) This is a single sensor, single swath SSTskin product for a single overpass, without distinction between day or night. It is derived using observations from the AVHRR instrument on the NOAA-XX satellites. It is provided as a 0.02deg x 0.02deg cylindrical equidistant projected map over the Southern Ocean region 3°E to 158°W, 27°S to 78°S. Each grid cell contains a single observation from the AVHRR radiometer. The diagram at https://help.aodn.org.au/satellite-data/product-information/ indicates where this product fits within the GHRSST suite of NOAA/AVHRR products. Matchups with buoy SST observations (adjusted to skin depths) indicate typical 2014 biases of < 0.1 degC and standard deviations of 0.5 degC to 0.6 degC for NOAA-18 and NOAA-19.
