New Group for High Resolution Sea Surface Temperature (GHRSST) Level 2P
and Level 3U v2.4 datasets produced by the NOAA Office of Satellite and
Product Operations (OSPO) from the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite
(VIIRS) on the Suomi NPP satellite are now available. The L2P v2.4 dataset
has number of improvements over L2P v2.3 including destriping, new capability
for handling the terrain-corrected geo-location, de-bias against insitu SST
and cloud mask adjustment. These datasets are in the GHRSST Data Processing
Specification version 2 (GDS2) netCDF4 format.
More information on these datasets can be found here:
