GHRSST Level 4 MUR Global Foundation Sea Surface Temperature Analysis for 2016-07-17 (NCEI Accession 0158668)

A Group for High Resolution Sea Surface Temperature (GHRSST) Level 4 sea surface temperature analysis produced as a retrospective dataset (four day latency) at the JPL Physical Oceanography DAAC using wavelets as basis functions in an optimal interpolation approach on a global 0.011 degree grid. The version 4 Multiscale Ultrahigh Resolution (MUR) L4 analysis is based upon nighttime GHRSST L2P skin and subskin SST observations from several instruments including the NASA Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer-EOS (AMSRE), the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on the NASA Aqua and Terra platforms, the US Navy microwave WindSat radiometer and in situ SST observations from the NOAA iQuam project. The ice concentration data are from the archives at the EUMETSAT Ocean and Sea Ice Satellite Application Facility (OSI SAF) High Latitude Processing Center and are also used for an improved SST parameterization for the high-latitudes.
This data set is funded by the NASA MEaSUREs program (http://earthdata.nasa.gov/our-community/community-data-system-programs/measures-projects), and created by a team led by Dr. Toshio Chin from JPL.

本数据集为高分辨率海表面温度组（Group for High Resolution Sea Surface Temperature, GHRSST）四级海表面温度分析产品，由JPL物理海洋学分布式活动档案中心以四天延迟回溯数据集的形式生成，采用以小波（Wavelet）为基函数的最优插值方法，在全球0.011度网格上完成计算。第4版多级超高分辨率（Multiscale Ultrahigh Resolution, MUR）四级分析产品，其数据源涵盖多类仪器获取的夜间GHRSST L2P表层与次表层海表面温度（Sea Surface Temperature, SST）观测数据，包括美国航空航天局（NASA）先进微波扫描辐射计-地球观测系统（Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer-EOS, AMSRE）、搭载于NASA Aqua与Terra平台的中分辨率成像光谱仪（Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer, MODIS）、美国海军微波WindSat辐射计，以及美国国家海洋和大气管理局（NOAA）iQuam项目获取的原位海表面温度观测数据。海冰密集度数据源自欧洲气象卫星组织（EUMETSAT）海洋与海冰卫星应用设施（Ocean and Sea Ice Satellite Application Facility, OSI SAF）高纬度处理中心的档案库，该数据同样用于优化高纬度地区的海表面温度参数化方案。
本数据集由美国航空航天局MEaSUREs项目资助（http://earthdata.nasa.gov/our-community/community-data-system-programs/measures-projects），由JPL的Toshio Chin博士带领的团队创建。
