ESA Sea Surface Temperature Climate Change Initiative (SST_cci): Along-Track Scanning Radiometer (ATSR) Level 3 Uncollated (L3U) Climate Data Record, version 2.0

This v2.0 SST_cci Along-Track Scanning Radiometer (ATSR) Level 3 Uncollated (L3U) Climate Data Record (CDR) consists of stable, low-bias sea surface temperature (SST) data from the Along Track Scanning Radiometer (ATSR) series of satellite instruments. It covers the period between 11/1991 and 04/2012. This Level 3 Uncollated (L3U) product provides these SST data on a 0.05 regular latitude-longitude grid with a single orbit per file.

The dataset has been produced as part of the European Space Agency (ESA) Climate Change Initiative Sea Surface Temperature project(ESA SST_cci). The data products from SST_cci accurately map the surface temperature of the global oceans over the period 1981 to 2016 using observations from many satellites. The data provide independently quantified SSTs to a quality suitable for climate research.

This CDR Version 2.0 product is a later version of the Long Term product v1.1. Data are made freely and openly available under a Creative Commons License by Attribution (CC By 4.0) https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ .

本V2.0 SST_cci沿轨扫描辐射计（ATSR）三级未归档（L3U）气候数据记录（CDR）包含了一系列沿轨扫描辐射计（ATSR）卫星仪器稳定、低偏差的海面温度（SST）数据。该数据集覆盖了1991年11月至2012年4月的时间段。该三级未归档（L3U）产品以0.05度的常规经纬度网格提供这些SST数据，每个文件包含一个轨道的数据。该数据集作为欧洲航天局（ESA）气候变化倡议海面温度项目（ESA SST_cci）的一部分生成。SST_cci的数据产品通过多颗卫星的观测，精确地绘制了1981年至2016年全球海洋的表面温度图，并为气候研究提供了独立量化的SST数据，其质量符合气候研究的要求。本CDR版本2.0产品是长期产品v1.1的后续版本。数据在Creative Commons License by Attribution（CC By 4.0）许可下免费且公开提供，许可链接为：https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 。
