MetOp-B/C Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer-3 (AVHRR-3) Level 2P Sea Surface Temperature (SST) v2.8 From OSPO

The Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer-3 (AVHRR-3) onboard MetOp-B/C is a cross track scanner that senses the Earth's radiation via six channels ranging from 0.58 to 12.5 microns. These channels cover the visible (VIS), near-infrared (NIR), shortwave-infrared (SWIR), medium-wave-infrared (MWIR), and thermal-infrared (TIR) spectral regions. AVHRR/3 provides day and night imaging of land, water and clouds, and measures sea surface temperature, ice, snow and vegetation cover. This MetOp-B/C AVHRR L2P sea surface temperature (SST) product provides satellite SST observations at a resolution of 1.1 km. The product is generated using the NOAA Advanced Clear-Sky Processor for Ocean (ACSPO) v2.8x enterprise system. The data are produced by the NOAA Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service (NESDIS) and are distributed by the Comprehensive Large Array-Data Stewardship System (CLASS) as 10 minute files in the netCDF-4 file format with attributes included.
