Level 3 GOES-East/ABI Sea Surface Temperature

Operational Near real time product

Level 3 hourly sub-skin Sea Surface Temperature derived from GOES-East, covering 60S-60N and 135W-15W and re-projected on a 0.05° regular grid, in GHRSST compliant netCDF format.

Licence/Attribution/Citation : CC BY 4.0 See below
Characteristics
Processing level : L3C
Satellite input : GOES-19/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. 3h

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 to 07/04/2025, compliant with GHRSST Data Specification v2.0
  • version OSI-207-c (GOES-19) from 07/04/2025 onwards, compliant with GHRSST Data Specification v2.1

Since GOES-16 (GOES-R), the first GOES new generation daytime SST calculations are enabled (whereas, previously, GOES-East SST was restricted to night_time conditions).
