Identifier : OSI-207-b
Digital object identifier (DOI) 10.15770/EUM_SAF_OSI_NRT_2015
Acronym for EDC (APNM) : GOES-E SST, OSIHSST, OSIHSSTN
Citation : See at bottom
Characteristics
Processing level : L3C
Satellite input : GOES-16/ABI
Other input : NWP outputs (temperature and humidity profiles, aerosols optical depth), cloud mask
Temporal sampling : 24 per day
Central time : 00:00, 01:00, …, 23:00
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.

Detailed history :
The product series is operational since 2001:
- version OSI-207 (GOES-8 to GOES-13) from 2001 to 14/12/2017
- version OSI-207-a (GOES-16) from 14/12/2017 to 19/01/2021 (temporary product, processed with a temporary chain previously processing OSI-207)
- version OSI-207-b (GOES-16) from 19/01/2021 onwards
GOES-16 (GOES-R) is the first GOES new generation. This new GOES-East platform enables daytime SST calculations (whereas, previously, GOES-East SST was restricted to night_time conditions).
