The ESA Sea Surface Temperature Climate Change Initiative (ESA SST CCI) dataset accurately maps the surface temperature of the global oceans over the period 1991 to 2010, using observations from many satellites. The data provides an independently quantified SST to a quality suitable for climate research. The ESA SST CCI AVHRR (Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer) Long Term Product consists of stable, low-bias sea surface temperature (SST) data covering the period 08/1991 - 12/2010. The L2P data product provide these SST observations in the satellite swath. This dataset is cited in: Merchant, C. J., Embury, O., Roberts-Jones, J., Fiedler, E., Bulgin, C. E., Corlett, G.

The ESA Sea Surface Temperature Climate Change Initiative (ESA SST CCI) dataset accurately maps the surface temperature of the global oceans over the period 1991 to 2010 using observations from many satellites. The data provides an independently quantified SST to a quality suitable for climate research. The GHRSST Multi-Product Ensemble (GMPE) dataset is an ensemble median of the ESA SST CCI spatially complete analysis with other level 4 SST analysis products. Anomalies of the analyses relative to the median, and the ensemble standard deviation are also provided. All the data in the GMPE files are regridded onto a common 0.25 degree regular latitude longitude grid and there are SST fields for each day. The GMPE for the ESA SST CCI long term product covers the period September 1991 to December 2010. GMPE files are also available for ESA SST CCI demonstration product 1 (which covers June to August 2007).

Advanced Along-Track Scanning Radiometer (AATSR) mission was funded jointly by the UK Department of Energy and Climate Change External Link (DECC) and the Australian Department of Innovation, Industry, Science and Research External Link (DIISR). This dataset contains the Advanced Along-Track Scanning Radiometer (AATSR) sea surface temperature values on ESA ENVISAT satellite L3U product. These data are newly introduced product in the third reprocessing of (A)ATSR multimission data. It is produced by the new ARC L2P processor version 1.2 that also produced the new L2P data. The L3U product is produced through averaging the L2P data onto a regular grid at 30 arcminute resolution. Hence, the L3U product is similar to the AST/METEO product.

Along-Track Scanning Radiometer (AATSR) mission was funded jointly by the UK Department of Energy and Climate Change External Link (DECC) and the Australian Department of Innovation, Industry, Science and Research External Link (DIISR). This dataset contains the Along-Track Scanning Radiometer on ESA ERS-2 satellite (ATSR-2) L2P product is a full resolution data with dual-view Sea Surface Temperature (SST) values. Version 3.0 of this dataset were produced with the ARC L2P processor version 1.2, which replaces the ARC SST processor. The processor applies its own algorithm to generate SST data from the Level 1B Data. This method differs from that used to produce the Gridded Surface Temperature (GST) products. This product also includes the ATSR Saharan Dust index (ASDI) and the clear-sky probability estimated by the ARC cloud detection algorithm.
