Sea Surface Temperature (SST) Objective Analysis Images from ACRES data, Apr. 1991 -
Sea surface temperature data, in DISIMP images, from NOAA Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) data received at the ACRES station in Alice Springs. Data starts from Apr. 1991, and is calculated using an objective analysis procedure written in IDL. The images cover the Australian continent and surrounding oceans. The data are contained on CDROMs in Hobart.

Resource lineage
- Statement
-
Raw data originate from the AVHRR sensor on various NOAA polar orbiting satellites, received at the ACRES station in Alice Springs. Processing is carried out in the CMR Remote Sensing Facility in Hobart to produce SST images using the NLSST (non-linear SST) algorithm developed by ?. These images are then used as input to the objective analysis procedure, which makes the "best" estimate of SST, given various assumptions made concerning the statistics of the input data.
