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: | METOP_A AVHRR NAR SST data set for 2010-02-26 (NCEI Accession 0076182) |
| Abstract: | The production of the METOP_A L3P SST data is done by the EUMETSAT/OSI-SAF at Meteo-France/CMS. Global AVHRR level 1B Data are acquired at CMS through the EUMETSAT/EUMETCAST system. A cloud mask is applied and SST is retrieved from the AVHRR IR channels by using a multispectral technique. Data consists of global coverage at 1 km resolution in three minute observation granules. The METOP_A SST L3P data are compliant with the Group for High Resolution SST (GHRSST) Data Specification (GDS) version 1.7. |
