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 3C North Atlantic Regional Subskin Sea Surface Temperature from the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) on board Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership (S-NPP) satellite for 2015-01-15 (NCEI Accession 0125747) |
| Abstract: |
GDS2 VERSION - A global Group for High Resolution Sea Surface Temperature (GHRSST) Level 3C dataset for the North Atlantic Region (NAR) based on retrievals from the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS). This particular dataset is produced twice a day over an area covering North-East Atlantic and the Mediterranean Sea in the framework of the European Organization for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites (EUMETSAT) Ocean and Sea Ice Satellite Application Facility (OSI SAF) in France. The VIIRS instrument resides on the Suomi National Polar-orbiting Operational Environmental Satellite System (NPOESS) Preparatory Project (NPP) satellite launched on 28 October 2011. It is a 22-band, multi-spectral scanning radiometer with a 3040-km swath width that builds on the heritage of the MODIS, AVHRR and SeaWiFS sensors for sea surface temperature (SST) and ocean color. For the infrared bands for SST the effective pixel size is 740 meters at nadir and the pixel size variation across the swath is constrained to no more than 1600 meters at the edge of the swath. However, the processing of this dataset aggregates two pixels into one so the resolution is 1500 meters at nadir. A cloud mask (MAIA) is derived from the radiometric data. MAIA is a threshold based cloud mask originally developed for the AVHRR and upgraded and adapted to VIIRS processing. This dataset adheres to the GHRSST Data Processing Specification (GDS) version 2 format specifications. |
