Description

The through-cloud capabilities of microwave radiometers provide a valuable picture of global sea surface temperature (SST) while infrared radiometers (MODIS) have a higher spatial resolution. To utilize these SSTs, scientists at Remote Sensing Systems have calculated a daily, Optimally Interpolated (OI) SST product at ~9 kilometer resolution. This product is ideal for research activities in which a complete, daily SST map is more desirable than one with missing data due to orbital gaps or environmental conditions precluding SST retrieval.
