Satellite Ocean Heat Content Suite from 2012-12-01 to 2012-12-30 (NCEI Accession 0139504)

This archival package contains an operational Satellite Ocean Heat Content Suite (SOHCS) product generated by NOAA National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service (NESDIS). The operational algorithm implemented was developed at the University of Miami/Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science (RSMAS). The SOHCS product measures the integrated vertical temperature from the sea surface to the depth of the 26°C isotherm. The Algorithm uses a reduced gravity model to estimate the 20 degree isotherm depth based on objectively analyzed blended sea surface height anomaly fields from operational altimeters (Satellite with ARgos and ALtiKa (SARAL), Jason-1, Jason-2 and Cryosat-2) and Geo-Polar blended SST analyses. The data consists of seven parameters including sea surface height anomaly and its mapping error, depth of the 20° and 26° Celsius isotherm, mixed layer depth, ocean heat content and sea surface temperature. The grid spacing of the data in both latitude and longitude is 0.25°.

本档案包包含由美国国家海洋和大气管理局（National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, NOAA）下属国家环境卫星、数据与信息服务中心（National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service, NESDIS）生成的业务化卫星海洋热含量套件（Satellite Ocean Heat Content Suite, SOHCS）产品。本次所采用的业务化算法由迈阿密大学罗森斯蒂尔海洋与大气科学学院（Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science, RSMAS）开发。该卫星海洋热含量套件产品用于测量从海表至26℃等温线深度的垂直积分温度。本算法采用约化重力模式，基于业务化高度计（包括搭载ARgos与ALtiKa的卫星（SARAL）、Jason-1、Jason-2及Cryosat-2）所生成的客观分析融合海面高度异常场，以及Geo-Polar融合海表温度分析数据，估算20℃等温线的深度。本数据集共包含7项参数，具体包括海面高度异常及其制图误差、20℃与26℃等温线深度、混合层深度、海洋热含量以及海表温度。该数据的经、纬向网格间距均为0.25°。
