Coverage: 1981 - present, global

Abstract: The NCEP Reynolds Optimally Interpolated (OI) Sea Surface Temperature product consists of weekly and monthly global sea surface temperature fields on a 1 degree by 1 degree grid. The analysis uses both in-situ SSTs and satellite derived SSTs from the NOAA Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR). The satellite derived SSTs are from the Multichannel Sea Surface Temperature products that have been constructed operationally from the five-channel AVHRR by NOAA's Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service (NESDIS) since late 1981. This product is available from 1981 to the present, with a one week time lag.
