The GOES-R Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI) Sea Surface (Skin) Temperature product contains an image with pixel values identifying the variations in temperature of the top 10 um of the sea surface. These values are calibrated to the bulk temperature at a depth of 1 m associated with in situ temperature measurements. On average, the pixel values represent the bulk sea surface temperature, but horizontal spatial variations in the product image reveal features associated with the sea surface skin temperature. The product includes data quality information that provides an assessment of the sea surface (skin) temperature data values for on-earth pixels. The units of measure for the sea surface (skin) temperature value is kelvin. The Sea Surface (Skin) Temperature product image is produced on the ABI fixed grid at 2 km resolution for the Full Disk coverage region from GOES East and West. Product data is produced under the following conditions: Existence of sea; geolocated source data to local zenith angles of 90 degrees for both daytime and nighttime conditions.
