Satellite Ocean Heat Content Suite from 2013-02-01 to 2013-02-28 (NCEI Accession 0139506)

This archival package contains an operational Satellite Ocean Heat Content Suite (SOHCS) product generated by NOAA National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service (NESDIS). The operational algorithm implemented was developed at the University of Miami/Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science (RSMAS). The SOHCS product measures the integrated vertical temperature from the sea surface to the depth of the 26°C isotherm. The Algorithm uses a reduced gravity model to estimate the 20 degree isotherm depth based on objectively analyzed blended sea surface height anomaly fields from operational altimeters (Satellite with ARgos and ALtiKa (SARAL), Jason-1, Jason-2 and Cryosat-2) and Geo-Polar blended SST analyses. The data consists of seven parameters including sea surface height anomaly and its mapping error, depth of the 20° and 26° Celsius isotherm, mixed layer depth, ocean heat content and sea surface temperature. The grid spacing of the data in both latitude and longitude is 0.25°.

本档案包包含由美国国家海洋和大气管理局（National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, NOAA）旗下国家环境卫星、数据与信息服务中心（National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service, NESDIS）生成的业务化卫星海洋热含量成套产品（Satellite Ocean Heat Content Suite, SOHCS）。其所采用的业务化算法由迈阿密大学罗森斯蒂尔海洋与大气科学学院（Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science, RSMAS）开发。该SOHCS产品用于测量从海表至26℃等温线深度的垂直积分温度。该算法基于业务化高度计（搭载ARgos与ALtiKa的SARAL卫星、Jason-1、Jason-2及Cryosat-2）的客观分析融合海面高度异常场，以及Geo-Polar融合海表面温度（Sea Surface Temperature, SST）分析结果，通过约化重力模式（reduced gravity model）估算20℃等温线深度。数据集共包含7项参数，分别为海面高度异常及其制图误差、20℃与26℃等温线深度、混合层深度、海洋热含量以及海表温度。该数据的经向与纬向网格间距均为0.25°。
