Group for High Resolution Sea Surface Temperature (GHRSST) L2P and L3 SST datasets from the Ocean and Sea Ice Satellite Application Facility (OSI-SAF) at Meteo-France/Centre de Meteorologie Spatiale (CMS) in France are now available. The L3 datasets are both global and regional (North Atlantic region) from a number of sensors including the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) on the European Meteorological Operational-A (MetOp-A) and the US NOAA-19 platforms, and the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) sensor on the Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership (SNPP) satellite. Temporal resolution is twice daily with spatial resolutions from 0.02 to 0.05 decimals degrees. The L2P dataset is derived from AVHRR on MetOP-A at 1 km global resolution.
