OSU SST Anomaly V2, MODIS Aqua, West US, 2003-present

U.S. West Coast Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) Aqua High Resolution Sea Surface Temperature (SST) Anomaly Fields (July 2002 - March 2014). This suite of Chlorophyll-a (CHLA) and SST climatology and anomaly data products are derived from daily, 0.0125 degree x 0.0125 degree, MODIS Aqua CHLA and SST fields that cover the California Current System (22N - 51N, 155W - 105W) for the 11-year period July 2002 through June 2013. These daily fields, obtained from the NOAA CoastWatch West Coast Regional Node website, were processed using a successive 3x3, 5x5 and 7x7 grid cell hybrid median filtering technique. This technique was found to effectively reduce noise in the daily fields while maintaining features and detail in important regions such as capes and headlands. The resulting median filtered daily fields were then linearly interpolated to a 0.025 x 0.025 degree grid and averaged to create 132 monthly mean fields. The seasonal cycles at each 0.025 degree x 0.025 degree grid cell were obtained by fitting each multiyear time series of monthly means to a nine-parameter regression model consisting of a constant plus four harmonics (frequencies of N/(1-year), N-1,4; Risien and Chelton 2008, Journal of Physical Oceanography (JPO)). Even with the median filtering and the temporal averaging of the daily fields, the highly inhomogeneous nature of the MODIS fields still resulted in regression coefficients that were excessively noisy. We therefore applied the same successive 3x3, 5x5 and 7x7 hybrid median filtering technique, described above, to the regression coefficients before finally spatially smoothing the coefficients using a loess smoother (Schlax et al. 2001, JTECH) with filter cutoff wavelengths of 0.25 degree latitude by 0.25 degree longitude. The seasonal cycles were then calculated from the filtered regression coefficients for each 0.025 degree x 0.025 degree grid cell using the mean and all four harmonics. It is important to note that THIS SUITE OF DATA PRODUCTS IS HIGHLY EXPERIMENTAL and is strictly intended for scientific evaluation by experienced marine scientists.

美国西海岸中分辨率成像光谱仪（MODIS）Aqua高分辨率海表温度（SST）异常场数据集（2002年7月-2014年3月）。本套系包含叶绿素a（CHLA）和海表温度（SST）的气候学及异常数据产品，源自每日0.0125度x0.0125度的MODIS Aqua CHLA和SST场，覆盖加利福尼亚海流系统（22N - 51N，155W - 105W）在2002年7月至2013年6月11年期间的覆盖范围。这些每日场数据来自NOAA CoastWatch西海岸区域节点网站，经过连续3x3、5x5和7x7网格单元混合中值滤波技术处理。该技术被发现能够有效降低每日场中的噪声，同时保持如海角和岬角等重要区域的特点和细节。随后，对中值滤波后的每日场进行线性插值，至0.025度x0.025度的网格，并平均创建132个月度平均场。通过将每个多年度月度平均值的时间序列拟合到一个由常数加四个谐波（频率为N/(1年)，N-1,4；Risien和Chelton 2008，物理海洋学杂志（JPO））组成的九参数回归模型中，获得了每个0.025度x0.025度网格单元的季节周期。即使在应用中值滤波和每日场的时空平均后，MODIS场高度不均匀的本质仍然导致回归系数过于嘈杂。因此，我们对回归系数应用了上述相同的连续3x3、5x5和7x7混合中值滤波技术，然后使用具有0.25度纬度x0.25度经度截止波长的loess平滑器（Schlax等，2001，JTECH）进行空间平滑。然后，使用每个0.025度x0.025度网格单元的滤波回归系数，通过平均值和所有四个谐波计算季节周期。值得注意的是，本套数据产品极具实验性质，严格仅供有经验的海洋科学家进行科学评估。
