Sea Surface Temperature (SST) Data from the BIGTAS Region 1990-present

Sea surface temperature data, in "Serov" DISIMP images, from Advanced High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) data received at the Hobart station. The AVHRR is mounted on the NOAA polar-orbiting satellites. Data starts from July 1991. The images cover the "BIGTAS" area, which is bounded by Serov coordinates 14801,8922,15801,9922. The data are contained on CDROMs in Hobart.

Statement

Raw data originate from the AVHRR sensor on various NOAA polar orbiting satellites, received at the station in Hobart. Processing is carried out in the CMR Remote Sensing Facility in Hobart to produce SST images using the ? algorithm developed by ?.
