Two new Group for High Resolution Sea Surface Temperature (GHRSST) Level 4
datasets produced by the Remote Sensing Systems (REMSS) from a number of
different sensors in the microwave and infrared range are now available. The
datasets include Level 4 global foundation SST data derived from microwave
(MW) sensors including the NASA Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer-EOS
(AMSRE), the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission Microwave Imager (TMI), the
Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer 2 (AMSR2) onboard the GCOM-W1
satellite, and WindSat on the Coriolis satellite, and from infrared (IR)
sensors from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on the
NASA Aqua and Terra platform. One Level 4 dataset (MW_OI) blends only
the MW data while the other (MW_IR_OI) blends both MW and IR data. These
datasets are in the GHRSST Data Processing Specification version 2
(GDS2) netCDF4 format.

Access is currently through FTP and OPeNDAP at locations such as (e.g., the
Microwave only dataset):
