Information
Level 3 MTG/FCI Sea Surface Temperature
Development Near real time productLevel 3 hourly sub-skin Sea Surface Temperature derived from Meteosat at 0° longitude, covering 60S-60N and 60W-60E and re-projected on a 0.05° regular grid, in GHRSST compliant netCDF format.
Identification
Acronym : L3 FCI SST
OSI SAF producer : Météo-France
Identifier : OSI-206-b
Characteristics
Processing level : L3C
Satellite input : Meteosat 0°/FCI
Other input : NWP outputs (temperature and humidity profiles, aerosols optical depth), Sea Surface Temperature analysis (OSTIA), cloud mask
Temporal sampling : 24 per day
Timeliness :
?
The timeliness is the time elapsing from the sensing time of the last contributing file to the product dissemination to users. It is similar to the latency.
