This is not a GHRSST-quality product, and demanding applications requiring a high standard of accuracy should consider using one of the IMOS GHRSST products in preference. The MODIS SST is nevertheless useful primarily because it is measured at the same time as the water leaving radiances used to derive the optical properties (eg chl). This means it is both contemporaneous, and has a matching cloud mask, so it is valuable for applications that seek to combine both SST and optical properties (ie Net Primary Productivity variants). The data set provided here matches the Chl_oci product in temporal and spatial extent. This SRS dataset covers waters around Australia. Production of contemporary MODIS data ceased at 2024/12/26. Users requiring similar Ocean Colour Radiometry data beyond 2024 should consider the VIIRS instruments on the SNPP and NOAA20+ series of satellites, also provided by IMOS. {"type": "Polygon", "coordinates": [[[80.0, -59.99999999999999], [180.0, -59.99999999999999], [180.0, 10.0], [80.0, 10.0], [80.0, -59.99999999999999]]]} 80.0 180.0 -59.99999999999999 10.0 Countries | Australia Countries | Indonesia Countries | Malaysia Countries | New Caledonia Countries | New Zealand Countries | Papua New Guinea Countries | Philippines Countries | Timor-Leste Global / Oceans | Indian Ocean Global / Oceans | Pacific Ocean Global / Oceans | Southern Ocean Marine Features (Australia) | Bass Strait, TAS/VIC Marine Features (Australia) | Great Australian Bight, SA/WA Oceans | Ocean Optics | Ocean Color Oceans | Ocean Temperature | Sea Surface Temperature Regional Seas | Arafura Sea Regional Seas | Banda Sea Regional Seas | Celebes Sea Regional Seas | Coral Sea Regional Seas | Java Sea Regional Seas | Philippine Sea Regional Seas | Solomon Sea Regional Seas | Tasman Sea Regional Seas | Timor Sea States, Territories (Australia) | New South Wales States, Territories (Australia) | Northern Territory States, Territories (Australia) | Queensland States, Territories (Australia) | South Australia States, Territories (Australia) | Tasmania States, Territories (Australia) | Victoria States, Territories (Australia) | Western Australia Satellite Remote Sensing page on IMOS website documentDigital HTML NetCDF files via THREDDS catalog documentDigital HTML View and download data though the AODN Portal documentDigital HTML srs_oc_aqua_sst_url/sst documentDigital SRS - Ocean Colour SST - WMS layer HTML srs_oc_aqua_sst_url documentDigital The GoGoDuck subsets and aggregates gridded data.
