MODIS Terra Sea Surface Temperature Standard Deviation

This data set contains the standard deviation of the MODIS Terra sea surface temperature generated from the climatology monthly means; the monthly climatologies represent the mean values for each month across the whole dataset time series. The data are received as monthly composites, with a 4 km resolution, and are constrained to the region between 90E and 180E, and 10N to 60S. The data was sourced from http://modis.gsfc.nasa.gov/. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) administered by NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, is a 36-band spectroradiometer measuring visible and infrared radiation and obtaining data that are being used to derive products ranging from vegetation, land surface cover, and ocean chlorophyll fluorescence to cloud and aerosol properties, fire occurrence, snow cover on the land, and sea ice cover on the oceans, from a continuous global coverage every 1 to 2 days. The first MODIS instrument was launched on board the Terra satellite in December 1999. This dataset is a contribution to the CERF Marine Biodiversity Hub.

本数据集包含基于气候学月均值生成的MODIS Terra海表温度标准差数据；其中月气候学均值指整个数据集时间序列内各月份的平均数值。该数据以月度合成产品形式提供，空间分辨率为4千米，覆盖范围限定为东经90°至180°、北纬10°至南纬60°的海域。本数据集源自http://modis.gsfc.nasa.gov/。由美国国家航空航天局戈达德太空飞行中心（NASA Goddard Space Flight Center）管理的中分辨率成像光谱仪（Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer，简称MODIS）是一款36波段光谱辐射计，可探测可见光与红外辐射，所获取的数据可用于生成多类遥感产品，涵盖植被监测、地表覆盖分类、海洋叶绿素荧光反演、云与气溶胶特性分析、火点发生监测、陆地积雪覆盖监测以及海洋海冰覆盖监测等，且可每1至2天完成一次全球连续覆盖观测。首台MODIS仪器于1999年12月搭载Terra卫星发射升空。本数据集为CERF海洋生物多样性中心的共建成果之一。
