The Multiscale Ultrahigh Resolution (MUR) blended sea surface temperature (SST) product has been updated to version 1. This product is a daily 1 km resolution product funded by the NASA MEaSUREs program to meet the goals of an accurate and consistent retrospective Level 4 SST record initially for US coastal regions. The output datasets are made to Group for High Resolution SST (GHRSST) Level 4 netCDF specifications. The data from 2008-2010 can be found here:

Some of the improvements and differences of version 1 in comparison to the previous version 0 (beta) are:

1) uses only nighttime input data from MODIS Aqua, Terra and AMSRE

2) includes nighttime AVHRR data

3) improves sensor bias corrections

4) improves spatial dependence of interpolation parameters


This product is produced at the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory by Dr. Mike Chin.
