PO.DAAC begins distribution of two upgraded Naval Oceanographic Office's (NAVOCEANO) level 2 Multi-Channel Sea Surface Temperature (MCSST) data sets.

Due to popular demand PO.DAAC is resuming distribution of near real-time Sea Surface Temperature (SST) coastal product 179. The NAVOCEANO MCSST Level 2 Fine Resolution Area Coverage (FRAC) replaces the High Resolution Picture Transmission (HRPT) Local Area Coverage (LAC) data stream. The FRAC product has 2.2km resolution in various global coastal locations. New SST data will come from the European Space Agency's (ESA) Metop-A satellite. We are working to restore the interim data from 9/17/08 through 6/9/09.

PO.DAAC is now providing SST data from the newer NOAA-18 spacecraft as well as the Metop-A satellite for product 143, the NAVEOCEANO MCSST level 2 Global Area Coverage (GAC) data set. This is in addition to the NOAA-17 satellite data.
