Sea surface temperature data, in 1, 3, 6, 10 and 15 day composite periods, at approximately 4 km resolution processed from NOAA Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) data received at Australian Stations and transformed to the stitched archive (see related record). Temporal coverage of the data is from October 1993-June 2003 and will be extended backwards and forwards through time. The data are in netCDF files and can be viewed as graphics or downloaded as data files from http://www.marine.csiro.au/remotesensing/oceancurrents/

Sea surface temperature data, in DISIMP images, from NOAA Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) data received at Australian Stations including ACRES (Alice Springs), WASTAC (Perth), Australian Institute of Marine Science (Townsville), CSIRO Marine Laboratories (Hobart), CSIRO Atmospheric Research (Melbourne) and Bureau of Meteorology (Darwin). Potentially overlapping data from each station was consolidated ("stitched") into a single, Australia-wide image per satellite overpass by the CSIRO/Earth Observation Centre, from various NOAA satellites with both day and night passes. Data spans from October 1993 to June 2003. SST is calculated using the NLSST (non-linear SST) algorithm or the split window (McMillin) algorithm. The images cover the Australian continent and surrounding oceans. The data are contained on magnetic tape in Hobart.
