| Short Name | ABOM-L4HRfnd-AUS-RAMSSA_09km |
| Description | A Group for High Resolution Sea Surface Temperature (GHRSST) Level 4 sea surface temperature analysis produced daily on an operational basis at the Australian Bureau of Meteorology using optimal interpolation (OI) on a regional 1/12 degree grid over the Australian region (20N - 70S, 60E - 170W). This BLUELink Regional Australian Multi-Sensor SST Analysis (RAMSSA) v1.0 system blends satellite SST observations from the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR), the Advanced Along Track Scanning Radiometer (AATSR), and, the Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer-EOS (AMSRE), and in situ data from ships, and drifting and moored buoy from the Global Telecommunications System (GTS). The processing results in daily foundation SST estimates that are largely free of nocturnal cooling and diurnal warming effects. |

| Platform/Sensor | AQUA / Platform Name: Earth Observing System, AQUA (AQUA) Orbit Period: 98.8 minutes Inclination Angle: 98 degrees Ascending Node: - AMSR-E SENSOR Name: Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer-EOS (AMSR-E) Swath Width: 1445 km Description: The Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer for EOS (AMSR-E) is a twelve-channel, six-frequency, total power passive-microwave radiometer system. ENVISAT / Platform Name: Environmental Satellite (ENVISAT) Orbit Period: 100.59 minutes Inclination Angle: 98.55 degrees Ascending Node: - AATSR SENSOR Name: Advanced Along-Track Scanning Radiometer (AATSR) Swath Width: 500 km Description: Advanced Along-Track Scanning Radiometer (AATSR) is one of the Announcement of Opportunity (AO) instruments on board the European Space Agency (ESA) satellite ENVISAT. It is the most recent in a series of instruments designed primarily to measure Sea Surface Temperature (SST), following on from ATSR-1 and ATSR-2 on board ERS-1 and ERS-2. InSitu / Platform Name: InSitu (InSitu) Orbit Period: -999 minutes Inclination Angle: -999 degrees Ascending Node: - InSitu SENSOR Name: Ships and Moored and Drifing Buoys (InSitu) Swath Width: -999 km Description: In situ SST data from drifting and moored buoys, and ships. METOP-A / Platform Name: Meteorological Operational Satellite - A (METOP-A) Orbit Period: 101.3 minutes Inclination Angle: 98.7 degrees Ascending Node: - AVHRR-3 SENSOR Name: Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer-3 (AVHRR-3) Swath Width: 2400 km Description: The AVHRR is a radiation-detection imager that can be used for remotely determining cloud cover and the surface temperature. Note that the term surface can mean the surface of the Earth, the upper surfaces of clouds, or the surface of a body of water. NOAA-18 / Platform Name: National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration-18 (NOAA-18) Orbit Period: 102.12 minutes Inclination Angle: 98.74 degrees Ascending Node: - AVHRR-3 SENSOR Name: Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer-3 (AVHRR-3) Swath Width: 2400 km Description: The AVHRR is a radiation-detection imager that can be used for remotely determining cloud cover and the surface temperature. Note that the term surface can mean the surface of the Earth, the upper surfaces of clouds, or the surface of a body of water. |
