Coastal Geostationary Sea Surface Temperature (SST) Products from NOAA GOES and Japanese MTSAT-1R satellites, coastal United States, 2000 - present

Published by NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Catalog Last Checked: August 03, 2026 at 08:17 AM | Dataset Last Updated: April 23, 2020 at 12:00 AM
The NOAA Office of Satellite and Product Operations (OSPO) generates geostationary sea surface temperature (SST) products. These products are derived from NOAA's Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellites (GOES) and Japan's Multi-functional Transport Satellite 1 Replacement (MTSAT-1R). They are available for the coastal United States including Alaska and Hawaii. Available products include GOES CoastWatch Regional SST, GOES Hourly SST Matchup, GOES Hourly SST, GOES 24-hourly SST, GOES 3-hourly SST, GOES CoastWatch Sectors SST (3-hour), GOES SST Daily Frontal Product, Blended SST 5-km Daily Product, Blended SST 11-km Daily Product, Meteosat Hourly SST Matchup, Meteosat 1-hour averaging SST, Meteosat 24-hour averaging SST, Meteosat 3-hour averaging SST, MTSAT Hourly SST Matchup, MTSAT Hourly SST, MTSAT 24-hourly SST, and Blended SST Night-only 5-km Daily Products. Data are output as binary at 6 km resolution.
