Identification
Acronym : IASI SST
Product navigator reference :
EO:EUM:DAT:METOP:IASI-SST
OSI SAF producer : Météo-France
Identifier : OSI-208-b
Digital object identifier (DOI) 10.15770/EUM_SAF_OSI_NRT_2016
Characteristics
Processing level : L2P
Satellite input : METOP-B/IASI
Other input : L2P core IASI SST produced by EUMETSAT Secretariat
Temporal sampling : 480 per day (each 3 min)
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.

Updated on 20/06/2017 following L2Pcore product update : greater yield of useful retrievals (essentially of quality class 3) are now available at mid and high latitudes + two extra experimental fields : dust cloud index, "obs minus calc" (OmC) which is used to stratify the quality of the L2P SST retrievals.
This product format is compliant with the Data Specification (GDS) version 2 from the Group for High Resolution Sea Surface Temperature (GHRSST).
23/02/2016 : this product supersedes the same product based on Metop-A input (OSI-208).
