GOES Level 3 6km Near Real Time SST 24 Hour

Sea Surface Temperatures (SSTs) are derived from the series of Geostationary Environmental Satellites using GOES Imagers with five-band multispectral capability,10 bit precision and high spatial resolution.The GOES 6km Near Real-Time data set consists of Level 3 SSTs derived from GOES East and GOES West with a spatial resolution of approximately 6km. Data sets are available in one hour, three hour, and 24 hour gridded sea surface temperatures. The grid covers much of the Western Hemisphere bounded by 180W, 30W, 60N and 45S.
