Summary
Abstract:
ABSTRACT: The sea surface temperature (SST) products were derived from NOAA's Polar-orbiting Operational Environmental Satellites (POES) for the coastal United States. They were created by NOAA CoastWatch Program and are now only available through this website. CoastWatch started with only POES/AVHRR SST data for the East Coast, but later added more regional nodes of Alaska, Caribbean, Gulf of ... Mexico, Hawaii, Great Lakes, Northeast, Southeast and West Coast. The products provided here are in the original CoastWatch Format, which does not apply to the SST data currently created. The new data is now provided in HDF format, which is also available through this web site.
SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION: The image products are produced within 4 hours of the satellite observation. Products from which this data is derived are available retrospectively from the NOAA CoastWatch Program.
CURRENTNESS REFERENCE: publication date
SPATIAL DATA ORGANIZATION INFORMATION
Direct Spatial Reference: Raster
Raster Object Type: Pixel
Row Count: 512
Column Count: 512
Electronic download (FTP) of the data is free. There is a fee for copies of data on physical media. Optical disks are $25.00 per unit and magnetic tape is $100 per unit. Price does not include additional service and handling costs. 
Purpose:
PURPOSE: The CoastWatch mission is to provide and ensure timely access to near real-time satellite data to protect, restore, and manage U.S. coastal ocean resources, and understand climate variability and change to further enhance society's quality of life.

Quality
ATTRIBUTE ACCURACY REPORT: Root Mean Square for SST values was approximately 1 degree.
LOGICAL CONSISTENCY REPORT: TBD
COMPLETENESS REPORT: Unknown
HORIZONTAL POSITIONAL ACCURACY REPORT: The positional accuracy of products derived from AVHRR GAC data is between 5 and 12 kilometers.
LINEAGE/PROCESS STEP:
PROCESS DESCRIPTION: Level 1b ... AVHRR GAC data were mapped and calibrated in the same process (raw counts converted to brightness temperatures and reflectances). After mapping and calibrating, the individual band (channel) maps were run pixel-wise through math functions to compute sea surface temperature and cloud masks. For example, pixel (x,y) from the channel 3, 4, and 5 map arrays are use in the nighttime triple-window equation to compute the SST at pixel (x,y).
