USE OF ENVISAT AATSR WITHIN A HIGH RESOLUTION NEAR REAL TIME GLOBAL SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURE ANALYSIS SYSTEM.

A new global coverage operational high-resolution combined sea surface temperature (SST) and sea ice analysis system called the Operational SST and sea Ice Analysis (OSTIA) has been developed. The output is a daily global coverage 1/20 ° (~6km) combined SST and sea ice concentration product based on...

Description
Summary:A new global coverage operational high-resolution combined sea surface temperature (SST) and sea ice analysis system called the Operational SST and sea Ice Analysis (OSTIA) has been developed. The output is a daily global coverage 1/20 ° (~6km) combined SST and sea ice concentration product based on measurements from several satellite and in situ SST data sets, including Envisat AATSR. OSTIA includes the AATSR data within a reference set of SST observations which are used to bias correct the other satellite data types. AATSR data therefore has a significant impact on the accuracy of the analysis. 1.
