NOAA Climate Data Record (CDR) of Sea Surface Temperature - WHOI, Version 2

The Sea Surface Temperature - Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) Climate Data Record (CDR) is one of three CDRs which combine to form the NOAA Ocean Surface Bundle (OSB) CDR. The resultant sea surface temperature (SST) data are produced through modeling the diurnal variability in combination with Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) SST observations. The final record is output to a 3-hourly 0.25-degree resolution grid over the global ice-free oceans from January 1988 to August 2021.
