    • SST, Pathfinder Ver 5.3 (L3C), Night, Global, 0.0417°, 1981-present, Science Quality (8 Day Composite)

    Metadata Updated: June 10, 2023

    This dataset contains 8-day-composites of nighttime sea surface temperature (SST) data produced as part of the AVHRR Pathfinder SST Project. The source data were created using Version 5.3 of the Pathfinder algorithm and the file is nearly but not completely compliant with the GHRSST Data Specifications V2.0 (GDS2). Source data were created by the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI). Multi-day composites were created by NOAA CoastWatch-West Coast and NOAA/SWFSC/ERD.

    Lineage Daily Pathfinder V5.3 data created by NOAA NESDIS NCEI, Kenneth S. Casey (Kenneth.Casey@noaa.gov), et al. Data periodically downloaded from https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/thredds-ocean/catalog/pathfinder/Version5.3/L3C/catalog.html to NOAA NMFS SWFSC ERD. 2018-10-03 Daily Pathfinder Version 5.3 daily composites were obtained from https://coastwatch.pfeg.noaa.gov/erddap/griddap/nceiPH53sstn1day at NOAA NMFS SWFSC ERD by erd.data@noaa.gov . Multi-day composites were created by averaging, pixel by pixel, data from the daily files.
