Description

SST is derived from the MODIS IR channels using two channels in either the thermal IR (11-12 um) or channels in the mid-IR region (3.8-4.1 um). The approach is similar to the multi-channel sea surface temperature (MCSST) or the non-linear SST (NLSST) methods used to generate AVHRR-based SST. The MODIS data are available in a variety of spatial resolutions and temporal periods. The Level 3 mapped products are global gridded data sets with all points filled even over land.
