GHRSST NOAA GOES-17 L2P/L3C Version 2.71 and Himawari-8 L2P/L3C Version 2.70 Datasets Release

2020-05-21

The PO.DAAC is pleased to announce the public release of the GHRSST NOAA GOES-17 (G17) L2P/L3C version 2.71 and Himawari-8 (H08) L2P/L3C version 2.70 datasets. GOES-17 is the second satellite in the US NOAA's GOES-R series equipped with Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI) sensor identical to GOES-16 satellite. H08 is the 8th of the Himawari geostationary weather satellites operated by the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA). Its Advanced Himawari Imager (AHI) sensor is almost the same as GOES-17/ABI.

The dataset was produced by the NOAA Office of Satellite and Product Operations using Advanced Clear-Sky Processor for Ocean (ACSPO) system v2.71, covering America West Region with hourly temporal resolution. It can be accessed from the PO.DAAC Portal at https://podaac.jpl.nasa.gov/dataset/ABI_G17-STAR-L3C-v2.71 (DOI: 10.5067/GHG17-3UO71).

NASA Saildrone Arctic Campaign Dataset Released

2020-05-18

The PO.DAAC is pleased to announce the availability of the Saildrone Arctic field campaign data. This campaign involved the deployment of a fleet of 5 saildrones, jointly funded by NASA and NOAA, from Dutch Harbor, Alaska, within the Bering and Chukchi Seas to the ice edge and back over a 150-day period from 15 May 2019 to 11 October 2019. Scientific objectives include collecting upper ocean temperature profiles with a full suite of ocean measurements.  The Saildrone Arctic dataset hosted at the PO.DAAC is comprised of 3 data files for each of the two NASA-funded saildrones deployed.

Animation of Saildrone Arctic field campaign along-track measurement data in relation to satellite SST and SSS observations (SD1037)

Animation showing the survey track and measurement data of Saildrone track 1037 deployed during the Arctic field campaign from 15 May 2019 to 11 October 2019. Here we see time series of surface salinity and temperature measurements in relation to satellite  SSS and SST respectively.  The animation also maps the movement of the saildrone, with colors representing collocated satellite SSS and SST along-track.
