ESA SST CCI and C3S reprocessed sea surface temperature analyses
'''Short description:'''
The C3S global Sea Surface and Sea Ice Temperature Reprocessed product provides gap-free maps of daily average SST at 20 cm depth and IST skin at 0.05deg. x 0.05deg. horizontal grid resolution, using satellite data from the ESA SST_cci v3.0 L3U data from (A)ATSRs, SLSTR and AVHRR, L2P data from the AMSRE and AMSR2 Passive Microwave Instruments (Embury et al., 2024) and L2P data from the AASTI and C3S IST CDR/ICDR v.1. The C3S level 4 SST/IST analyses were produced by running the DMI Optimal Interpolation (DMIOI) system (Høyer and She, 2007; Høyer et al., 2014; Nielsen-Englyst et al., 2023, Nielsen-Englyst et al., 2024) to provide a high resolution (1/20deg. - approx. 5km grid resolution) daily analysis of the daily average sea surface temperature (SST) at 20 cm depth and sea ice surface temperature (IST) at the surface skin to cover surface temperatures in the global ocean, the sea ice and the marginal ice zone. It uses a Multi-Source Composite Sea-Ice concentration dataset (from a combination of EUMETSAT OSI-SAF OSI-450a (Lavergne et al., 2019), OSI-458, ESA CCI Sea ice CDR, SICCI-HR-SIC, U.S. National Ice Centre’s (NIC) ice charts, Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute (SHMI) and Finnish Meteorological Institute’s (FMI) ice charts used for the Baltic region) developed at DMI for the purpose of the CARRA2 project (Pan-Arctic) and extended to the South Hemisphere.
