Summary
Description
The ODYSSEA Global Sea Surface Temperature is a GHRSST Level 4 product produced at Ifremer/CERSAT (France). It provides a daily cloud-free global field of foundation sea surface temperature at 10km resolution (0.1 degree) over the full globe. It is generated by merging all available satellite sensors for sea surface temperature (micro-wave and infra-red), after careful intercalibration using AATSR sensor as reference (previously re-calibrated using all available in situ data). The development of the global real-time sea surface temperature at Ifremer/CERSAT is supported by European Commission (GMES framework) initially in the frame of MERSEA project. PO.DAAC, through the GHRSST Global Data Assembly Center (http://ghrsst.jpl.nasa.gov) acts as a global distribution node for all GHRSST L4 products in conjunction with the NOAA Longterm Stewardship and Reanalysis Facility (LTSRF; http://ghrsst.nodc.noaa.gov).
