AVHRR NAVOCEANO Level 2 2km Multi-Channel SST Coastal Local Area Coverage

This data is a 2.2 km product using Local Area Coverage (LAC) from NOAA-16, 17 and 19 satellites. This product employs High Resolution Picture Transmission (HRPT) SST calculations. High quality Sea Surface Temperatures (SSTs) maps derived from the NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration)-Polar Orbiting Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) have been available since 1981. The multichannel sea surface temperature algorithm (MCSST) has been used to routinely calculate SSTs using a split window approach. Currently this algorithm is applied by the Naval Oceanographic Office (NAVOCEANO) to calculate SSTs at a near real-time rate.
