Tasmanian Slope Trophodynamics Study 1991-1993: Satellite Sea Surface Temperature (SST) imagery, Jan 1990-Dec 1993

Composite sea surface temperature (SST) images derived from NOAA AVHRR satellite data received in Hobart, covering Tasmania and surrounding region, for comparison with, and extrapolation of, actual measurements recorded during four voyages of FRV "Southern Surveyor" over the period July 1991-April 1993 for the Tasmanian Slope Trophodynamics project. The SST images are averaged by month over a slightly longer period (January 1991-December 1993). There are also 4 higher resolution images corresponding to the times of the actual voyages, taken on 13 July 1991, 20-22 Feb 1992, 6-7 Nov 1992 and 20-26 Apr 1993. The images are composites from an original dataset of c3000 images over this period, held in the Remote Sensing Facility in Hobart.
