The Ocean Archive System searches our original datasets as they were submitted to us, not individual points or profiles. If you want to search and retrieve ocean profiles in a common format, or objectively analyzed fields, your better option may be to use one of our project applications. See: Access Data

| Title: | GHRSST Level 2P NOAA ACSPO SST v2.80 from VIIRS on NOAA-21 Satellite (GDS version 2) for 2024-10-05 (NCEI Accession 0297911) |
| Abstract: | The N21-VIIRS-L2P-ACSPO-v2.80 dataset produced by the NOAA ACSPO system derives the Subskin Sea Surface Temperature (SST) from the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) onboard the The Joint Polar Satellite System (JPSS)-2 satellite, renamed as NOAA-21 (N21). N21 was launched on Nov. 10, 2022, the 3rd satellite in the US NOAA latest JPSS series. VIIRS L2P SST products are derived at the native sensor resolution (~0.75 km at nadir, ~1.5 km at swath edge) using NOAA's Advanced Clear-Sky Processor for Ocean (ACSPO) system (Jonasson et al. 2022). Data are reported in 10-minute granules in netCDF4 format, compliant with the Group for High Resolution Sea Surface Temperature (GHRSST) Data Specification version 2 (GDS2). The ACSPO N21 VIIRS SST record is available back to 19 Mar 2023. In ACSPO products, SSTs are derived using the Non-Linear SST (NLSST) algorithms (Petrenko et al., 2014). An ACSPO clear-sky mask (ACSM) is provided in each pixel as part of variable l2p_flags, which also includes day/night, land, ice, twilight, and glint flags (Petrenko et al., 2010). Only ACSM confidently clear pixels with quality level QL=5 are recommended. Per GDS2 specifications, two additional Sensor-Specific Error Statistics layers (SSES bias and standard deviation) are reported in each pixel with QL=5. The ACSPO VIIRS L2P product is monitored and validated against quality controlled in situ data provided by NOAA in situ SST Quality Monitor system (iQuam) using another NOAA system, SST Quality Monitor (SQUAM). A reduced size (0.5GB/day), equal-angle gridded (0.02-deg resolution), ACSPO N21 VIIRS L3U product is also available (10.5067/GHV21-3U280) (Ignatov et al., 2017). |
