The PO.DAAC is pleased to announce the public release of the NASA OBPG/JPL MODIS Aqua and Terra GHRSST Level-2P (L2P) and Level-3 (L3) Sea Surface Temperature v2019.0 datasets.
The PO.DAAC is pleased to announce the public release of the NASA JPL GHRSST Level-2P (L2P) VIIRS sea surface temperature (SST) version 2016.2 (v2016.2) dataset.
Evolution of GOES-East IR, NASA Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) sea surface salinity (SSS), and NASA Multi-Scale Ultra-High Resolution (MUR) sea surface temperature (SST) response to the 2019 Atlantic hurricane season response
The PO.DAAC is pleased to announce that the GHRSST Multi-Scale Ultra High Resolution Sea Surface Temperature (MUR SST) data are now available in the cloud, as part of the NASA—Amazon Web Services (AWS) Space Act Agreement, executed by the Interagency Implementation and Advanced Concepts Team (IMPACT) for NASA's Earth Science Data Systems (ESDS) Program. The global, 1 km MUR SST dataset is available from June 2002 to present. Making these data freely available in the cloud is part of a larger effort by ESDS to enable researchers and commercial data users to access and work with large quantities of data quickly. These MUR SST data are optimized so that researchers can do large-scale analyses in the cloud.
Tutorials have been provided for accessing the MUR SST data using Python on the Registry of Open Data on AWS and GitHub. You can also view the data on PO.DAAC's State of the Ocean tool. The MUR SST data were optimized for the cloud using computing credits provided by AWS Cloud Credits for Research Program and is available via the AWS Public Dataset Program.
Evolution of GOES-East IR, NASA Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) sea surface salinity (SSS), and NASA Multi-Scale Ultra-High Resolution (MUR) sea surface temperature (SST) response to the 2019 Atlantic hurricane season response. (MUR SST DOI: 10.5067/GHGMR-4FJ04; SMAP SSS DOI: 10.5067/SMP42-3TPCS).
Evolution of the NASA Multi-Scale Ultra-High Resolution (MUR) sea surface temperature (SST) response to the 2019 Atlantic hurricane season. It is common to observe trails of cooler water, or cold wakes, along hurricane tracks as a result of wind-induced mixing and turbulence that brings cold waters at depth to the surface. The cold wakes associated with the 2019 Atlantic tropical cyclones are clearly observed as waters approximately 2°C cooler from normal that persisted for several days. (MUR SST DOI: 10.5067/GHGMR-4FJ04).
Evolution of the NASA Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) sea surface salinity (SSS) response to the 2019 East Pacific hurricane season. It is common to observe patches of 1) salinity freshening due to enhanced precipitation and 2) salinity increase due to wind stress-generated vertical mixing, wherein increased salinity from a mid-level maximum is brought to the surface. The two effects are clearly observed along the tracks of the 2019 East Pacific tropical cyclones.
