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.
