The Role of AMSR2 Channels within an Optimal Estimation Scheme for SST
Submitted by SCL webmaster on Wed, 2018-02-07 20:00Project Scientist Kevin Pearson has recently published a paper on the role of the Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer 2 (AMSR2) channels within an optimal estimation scheme for sea surface temperature. The article is published in volume 10, issue 1 of the journal for remote sensing, and a full version of the paper can be downloaded from www.mdpi.com/2072-4292/10/1/90.

Updated SST CCI Analysis product
Submitted by SCL webmaster on Mon, 2016-01-04 11:57The SST CCI Analysis product (in which daily SST is gap-filled in time and space) has been updated to version 1.1. This version uses the same SST inputs as analysis v1.0. Compared to v1.0, intermittent bugs in the externally sourced sea ice fields (with corresponding implications for high latitude SST) have been corrected. For users not directly using the sea ice fields, the update is minor; for those using the sea ice fields, it is recommended. Read more »
SST CCI User Tools
Submitted by SCL webmaster on Fri, 2015-11-27 19:36The ESA SST CCI project provides two software tools specifically designed to operate on the SST CCI data. These tools support the regridding of the SST data products to a coarser raster and the regional averaging of data for a selectable time interval. The algorithms implemented ensure a correct propagation of the uncertainty information and generate an additional uncertainty component taking into account the effects of incomplete sampling (e.g. due to cloud coverage).
