Pathfinder Sea Surface Temperature (SST) Objective Analysis Images and raw data, 1988-1994

Created 25/06/2025

Updated 25/06/2025

Sea surface temperature data, in netCDF format, from NOAA Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) data, processed in Hobart by the CMR Remote Sensing Facility. The dataset includes both the Pathfinder SST daily images, and the optimal estimates (and error fields) made from them, at 10-day intervals. Data starts from Jan. 1988, and is calculated using an objective analysis procedure written in Matlab. The images cover the Australian continent and surrounding oceans. The data are contained on 7 CDROMs in Hobart.
