Full description
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.Lineage
Progress Code: completed
Maintenance and Update Frequency: unknown
Statement: Raw data originate from the AVHRR sensor on various NOAA polar orbiting satellites, received at various stations around Australia and consolidated ("stitched") by the CSIRO Earth Observation Centre. The stitching removes redundancy and minimises data corruption. Processing from the stitched archive to produce SST is carried out in the CMR Remote Sensing Facility in Hobart using either the split window algorithm of McMillin for NOAA9 and NOAA12 satellites and the NLSST (NOAA non-linear SST) algorithm for the other satellites.
