5697 Data Set Published / External 2664 PIFSC OceanWatch (OW) Metadata Portfolio Project In Work The dataset contains satellite-derived sea-surface temperature measurements collected by means of the Geostationary Orbiting Environmental Satellite. The data is collected daily, and is available at 2-day intervals at a spatial resolution of 0.05 degrees. The geographic coverage extends for the Pacific region,and the temporal coverage ranges from 2001-present. To provide users with near real-time and historical sea-surface temperature data for the Pacific Basin.
