This Research to Operations (RTO) analysis is based upon a composite of either nighttime or daytime GHRSST L2P skin SST from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on the NASA Aqua and Terra platforms, and subskin SST observations from the Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer-EOS (AMSRE). Four unique products (composites) are created: MODIS Terra/AMSRE day and night, and MODIS Aqua/AMSRE day and night. This particular dataset represents a MODIS Aqua and AMSRE composite using nighttime data. The algorithm is based on a weighting scheme and compositing whereby MODIS data are used if they exist to preserve the highest resolution possible. The product is categorized as blended because no attempt is made to correct for foundation or skin temperature. This dataset is available to the public for a wide variety of uses including scientific research and analysis. completed historicalArchive NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information ncei.info@noaa.gov https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/contact HTTPS NCEI Contact Information Information for contacts at NCEI. information pointOfContact asNeeded https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/access/metadata/landing-page/bin/gfx?id=gov.noaa.nodc:GHRSST-JPL-L4UHblend-NCAMERICA-RTO_SST_An Preview graphic PNG 0079727 0079732 0079746 0079752 0079764 0079770 0079778 0079784 0079790 0079796 0079804 0079810 0079816 0079822 0079828 0079834 0079840 0079848 0079854 0079860 0079866 0079872 0079878 0079884 0079890 0079896 0079902 0079908 0079917 0079927 0079933 0079940 0079946 0079952 0079958 0079964 0079970 0079976 0079982 0079988 0079998 0080004 0080012 0080018 0080024 0080030 0080036 0080042 0080048 0080054 0080060 0080066 0080072 0080077 0080082 0080087 0080093 0080101 0080107 0080113 0080119 0080125 0080131 0080137 0080143 0080149 0080155 0080161 0080169 0080175 0080181 0080187 0080193 0080199 0080205 0080211 0080217 0080223 0080229 0080235 0080241 0080247 0080253 0080259 0080271 0080277 0080297 0080303 0080310 0080317 0080324 0080330 0080336 0080342 0080348 0080354 0080360 0080366 0080372 0080378 0080384 0080390 0080396 0080402 0080408 0080414 0080420 0080426 0080434 0080440 0080446 0080452 0080458 0080464 0080470 0080476 0080484 0080490 0080496 0080502 0080508 0080514 0080541 0080547 0080553 0080559 0080565 0080571 0080577 0080583 0080589 0080595 0080601 0080607 0080612 0080639 0080645 0080656 0080662 0080681 0080687 0080693 0080707 0080713 0080719 0080725 0080731 0080737 0080743 0080749 0080755 0080761 0080767 0080773 0080779 0080792 0080798 0080804 0080810 0080816 0080824 0080830 0080836 0080842 0080848 0080854 0080860 0080866 0080872 0080878 0080884 0080891 0080898 0080905 0080912 0080919 0080926 0080933 0080940 0081815 0081826 0081838 0081851 0081864 0081877 0081890 0081903 0081916 0081929 0081942 0081955 0081968 0081981 0081994 0082006 0082020 0082034 0082048 0082062 0082078 0082091 0082104 0082112 0082119 0082126 0082133 0082140 0084134 0084161 0084189 0084218 0084245 0084273 0084298 0084318 0084337 0084354 0084369 0084384 0084398 0084412 0084425 0087586 0087590 0087594 0088192 0088197 0088920 0089100 0089140 0089145 0089681 0089689 0089698 0089707 0089718 0089730 0089748 0089756 0089760 0089763 0089766 0089769 0089772 0090360 0090378 0090388 0090422 0090431 0090435 0090439 0090443 0090446 0092562 0092572 0092583 0092594 0092606 0092618 0092630 0092642 0092684 0092690 0092695 0092701 0092706 0092713 0092718 0092724 0093442 0093486 0093491 0093496 0093501 0093506 0093511 0093516 0093521 0093684 0093696 0093708 0098609 0098627 0098646 0098666 0098683 0098711 0098728 0098745 0098801 0098809 0098817 0098851 0098865 0098876 0098887 0099149 NCEI ACCESSION NUMBER 2012-10-31 publication SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURE theme NODC DATA TYPES THESAURUS AMSR-E MODIS instrument NODC INSTRUMENT TYPES THESAURUS satellite data theme NODC OBSERVATION TYPES THESAURUS Aqua platform NODC PLATFORM NAMES THESAURUS NASA JPL PO.DAAC dataCentre NODC COLLECTING INSTITUTION NAMES THESAURUS NASA JPL PO.DAAC dataCentre NODC SUBMITTING INSTITUTION NAMES THESAURUS Group for High Resolution Sea Surface Temperature (GHRSST) project NODC PROJECT NAMES THESAURUS Caribbean Sea Great Lakes Gulf of Alaska Gulf of Mexico Gulf of St. Lawrence Labrador Sea North Atlantic Ocean North Pacific Ocean South Atlantic Ocean South Pacific Ocean place NODC SEA AREA NAMES THESAURUS oceanography theme WMO_CategoryCode 2012-09-15 publication DOC/NOAA/NESDIS/NODC > National Oceanographic Data Center, NESDIS, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce NASA/JPL/PODAAC > Physical Oceanography Distributed Active Archive Center, Jet Propulsion Laboratory, NASA dataCentre Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Data Center Keywords 2026 revision 24 Earth Science Data and Information System, Earth Science Projects Division, Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC), National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Greenbelt MD https://forum.earthdata.nasa.gov/app.php/tag/GCMD%2BKeywords HTTPS GCMD Keyword Forum Page Global Change Master Directory (GCMD). 2025.

Environmental Information (NCEI) by merging NOAA's National Climatic Data Center (NCDC), National Geophysical Data Center (NGDC), and National Oceanographic Data Center (NODC), including the National Coastal Data Development Center (NCDDC), per the Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act, 2015, Public Law 113-235. NCEI launched publicly on April 22, 2015. 2015-04-22T00:00:00 asNeeded Metadata are developed, maintained and distributed by NCEI. Updates are performed as needed to maintain currentness. NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information custodian AMSR-E AMSR-E Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer-EOS NASA's Earth Observing System (EOS) Aqua Satellite was launched from Vandenberg AFB, California on May 4, 2002 at 02:54:58 a.m. Pacific Daylight Time. The primary goal of Aqua, as the name implies, is to gather information about water in the Earth's system. The Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer - EOS (AMSR-E) is a one of the six sensors aboard the satellite Aqua. AMSR-E is passive microwave radiometer, modified from the Advanced Earth Observing Satellite-II (ADEOS-II) AMSR, designed and provided by NASDA (contractor: Mitsubishi Electric Corporation). It observes atmospheric, land, oceanic, and cryospheric parameters, including precipitation, sea surface temperatures, ice concentrations, snow water equivalent, surface wetness, wind speed, atmospheric cloud water, and water vapor. (From: http://www.ghcc.msfc.nasa.gov/AMSR/) MODIS MODIS Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer MODIS (or Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) is a key instrument aboard the Terra (EOS AM) and Aqua (EOS PM) satellites. Terra's orbit around the Earth is timed so that it passes from north to south across the equator in the morning, while Aqua passes south to north over the equator in the afternoon. Terra MODIS and Aqua MODIS are viewing the entire Earth's surface every 1 to 2 days, acquiring data in 36 spectral bands, or groups of wavelengths (see MODIS Technical Specifications). MODIS Technical Specifications Orbit: 705 km, 10:30 a.m. descending node (Terra) or 1:30 p.m. ascending node (Aqua), sun-synchronous, near-polar, circular Scan Rate: 20.3 rpm, cross track Swath Dimensions: 2330 km (cross track) by 10 km (along track at nadir) Telescope: 17.78 cm diam. off-axis, afocal (collimated), with intermediate field stop Size: 1.0 x 1.6 x 1.0 m Weight: 228.7 kg Power: 162.5 W (single orbit average) Data Rate: 10.6 Mbps (peak daytime); 6.1 Mbps (orbital average) Quantization: 12 bits Spatial Resolution: 250 m (bands 1-2); 500 m (bands 3-7); 1000 m (bands 8-36) Design Life: 6 years (From: http://modis.gsfc.nasa.gov/about/index.html) Aqua Updated information from ICES for the Name : Aqua Country(s) : UNITED STATES(US) (ISO Country Code) Platform Class : 65 Orbiting satellite Commissioned Date : 2002-05-04 Decommissioned Date : 2016 Notes : 2nd flight unit of the EOS programme. Main mission is demonstration of advanced sensors for operational meteorology.
