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

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).
