Title: Sea Surface Temperature (SST-sub-skin) Low and Mid Latitudes (LML), 100W - 45E and 60N - 60S, gridded at 0.1 degree resolution every 3 hours from MSG SEVIRI for 2008-06-16 (NCEI Accession 0043794)
Abstract: SST calculated from the IR channels of MSG at full resolution on a hourly basis. Remapping is made by space averaging, the production of the 3-hourly data is made by averaging over time the SSTs having the best confidence level. Data from distinct satellites are not averaged together. L2P data products are then derived following the GHRSST-PP Data Processing Specification (GDS) version 1.5 available from http://ghrsst-pp.metoffice.com/documents/GDS-v1.0-rev1.5.pdf. Single Sensor Error Statistics (SSES) are provided based on the GDS-v1.5 specification.
