Description
Summary:The OSI-SAF merged Atlantic Sea Surface Temperature (SST) Product has been received and archived in the Met Office's Meteorological Database (MetDB) since June 2002 in GRIB format. Work is underway to routinely include these observations within our Observation Processing System (OPS) and then validate against 'pseudo ' bulk SSTs derived at 1/6 degree spatial resolution from AATSR (Advanced Along Track Scanning Radiometer) onboard ENVISAT. Eventually we plan to include the OSI-SAF merged Atlantic Product within our operational North Atlantic European model SST analysis and any future global product within our global model SST analysis.
