This is a single-sensor multi-satellite SSTskin product for 1 month of consecutive day-time periods, derived using observations from AVHRR instruments on all available NOAA polar-orbiting satellites. It is provided as a 0.02deg x 0.02deg cylindrical equidistant projected map over the region 70°E to 170°W, 20°N to 70°S. Each grid cell contains the 1 month average of all the highest available quality SSTs that overlap with that cell, weighted by the area of overlap. The diagram at https://help.aodn.org.au/satellite-data-product-information/ indicates where this product fits within the GHRSST suite of NOAA/AVHRR products. Matchups with buoy SST observations for the central date (adjusted to skin depths) indicate typical 2014 biases of < 0.3 degC and standard deviations of 0.7 degC. Refer to the IMOS SST products web page at http://imos.org.au/sstproducts.html and Beggs et al. (2013) at http://imos.org.au/sstdata_references.html for further information. Production of this single sensor product ceased in June 2025, due to decommissioning of the NOAA-18 satellite. Please refer to the following multi sensor product for data after June 2025 - IMOS - Satellite Remote Sensing - SST - L3S - Multi Sensor - 1 month - day time - Australia (https://catalogue-imos.aodn.org.au/geonetwork/srv/eng/catalog.search#/metadata/e3b2531b-a662-43de-9a8b-8e2b385267b3)
