The Ocean Archive System searches our original datasets as they were submitted to us, not individual points or profiles. If you want to search and retrieve ocean profiles in a common format, or objectively analyzed fields, your better option may be to use one of our project applications. See: Access Data

| Title: |
GHRSST Level 4 AVHRR_OI Global Blended Sea Surface Temperature Analysis from NCEI (GDS versions 1 and 2) for 2024-07-17 (NCEI Accession 0295603) |
| Abstract: |
A Group for High Resolution Sea Surface Temperature (GHRSST) global Level 4 sea surface temperature dataset is produced daily on a 0.25 degree grid at the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information. This product uses optimal interpolation (OI) by interpolating and extrapolating SST observations from different sources, resulting in a smoothed complete field. The sources of data are satellite (AVHRR) and in situ platforms (i.e., ships, buoys, and Argo floats above 5m depth), and the specific datasets employed may change over time. In the regions with sea-ice concentration higher than 30%, freezing points of seawater are used to generate proxy SSTs. A preliminary version of this dataset is produced in near-real time (1-day latency), and then replaced with a final version after 2 weeks. The v2.1 (Huang et al. 2021) is updated from the previous AVHRR_OI-NCEI-L4-GLOB-v2.0 data. Major improvements include: 1) In-situ ship and buoy data changed from the NCEP Traditional Alphanumeric Codes (TAC) to the NCEI merged TAC + Binary Universal Form for the Representation (BUFR) data, with large increases of buoy data included to correct satellite SST biases; 2) Addition of Argo float observed SST data as well, for further correction of satellite SST biases; 3) Satellite input from the METOP-A and NOAA-19 to METOP-A and METOP-B, removing degraded satellite data; 4) Revised ship-buoy SST corrections for improved accuracy; and 5) Revised sea-ice-concentration to SST conversion to remove warm biases in the Arctic region. These updates only apply to data after January 1st, 2016. The data pre 2016 are still the same as v2.0 except for metadata upgrades. NCEI has panned to update the entire dataset from 1982 to fix the In-Situ data ingest and bias correction which exist prior 2016. |
