The Global Ocean Data Assimilation Experiment High-resolution Sea Surface Temperature Pilot Project.

The article presents information on the Global Ocean Data Assimilation Experiment (GODAE) high-resolution sea surface temperature (SST) pilot project. The GODAE High-Resolution SST Pilot Project (GHRSST-PP) involves the merging of SST data from heterogeneous sources that include infrared wide swatch radiometer in polar orbit, microwave radiometer in polar orbit, infrared dual-view radiometer in polar orbit, and infrared Earth disc radiometer in geostationary orbit. The project provides two types of near-real-time SST information products.
