The world's longest running, continuous, research quality, global SST data series has grown even longer. For the first time PO.DAAC is announcing the availability of AVHRR Pathfinder SST data from 1981 through 1985. These data from the NOAA-7 POES satellite were produced by the NODC using version 5.1 of the Pathfinder algorithm.

Version 5.1 uses higher resolution reference data than 5.0 for the purpose of achieving better resolution in the coastal and high gradient SST regions. The Pathfinder data now spans from September of 1981 through May of 2009.
