Input Data: SST
1024 by 2048 8day HDF files from AVHRR Data
(quality 5 to 8)
note: all data updated on 3.03.2009 to reflect usage of q5 to q8 data;
please replace previous downloads with these values
note: AVHRR data are not generated with the same grid spacing as SeaWiFS and MODIS
To get these data,
please click on the file name(s) that you have selected
and save locally on your computer.
The individual hdf files are gzipped
(use gunzip to uncompress)
and the tar files contain gzipped hdf files.
sst = sea surface temperature (units of degrees C )
yyyy = year
ddd= day of year of the start of each 8day file
hdf = file type
gz = compressed with gzip (uncompress with gunzip)
The hdf files have metadata contained within them, which can be examined, for example, with program "ncdump".
clouds have been filled in the input data using our own gap-filling software.
