GHRSST Level 2P Sea Surface Temperature (SST) datasets based on the
Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) sensor on a number of
different platforms including NOAA-18, 19, MetOP-A and MetOP-B are now
available from the NAVO data provider. These Level 2 swath datasets are
produced in near real-time by NAVOCEANO at the Stennis Space Center,
Mississippi. Spatial resolutions vary from 2 to 9 km. Data are
available from about Sept 2013 to present. These datasets, in the
GHRSST GDS2 netCDF4 format, replace their GDS1 counterparts. Production
of the GDS1 dataset counterparts will cease in the near future, and users
should transition as soon as possible to these newer versions.
