Sea surface temperature data sources

Source: R/sources_sst.R
sources_sst.Rd

Data sources providing SST data.

Usage

sources_sst(name, formats, time_resolutions, ...)

Arguments

name

character vector: only return data sources with name or id matching these values

formats

character: for some sources, the format can be specified. See the list of sources above for details

time_resolutions

character: for some sources, the time resolution can be specified. See the list of sources above for details

...

: additional source-specific parameters. See the list of sources above for details

Value

a tibble with columns as specified by bb_source

Details

  • "NOAA OI 1/4 Degree Daily SST AVHRR v2": Sea surface temperature at 0.25 degree daily resolution, from 1-Sep-1981 to Apr-2020 (superseded by v2.1, below)

  • "NOAA OI 1/4 Degree Daily SST AVHRR": Sea surface temperature at 0.25 degree daily resolution, from 1-Sep-1981 to present (this is v2.1 of the daily OI SST product)

  • "NOAA OI SST V2": Weekly and monthly mean and long-term monthly mean SST data, 1-degree resolution, 1981 to present. Ice concentration data are also included, which are the ice concentration values input to the SST analysis

  • "NOAA Extended Reconstructed SST V3b": A global monthly SST analysis from 1854 to the present derived from ICOADS data with missing data filled in by statistical methods

  • "NOAA Extended Reconstructed SST V5": A global monthly sea surface temperature dataset derived from the International Comprehensive Ocean-Atmosphere Dataset

  • "Oceandata MODIS Terra Level-3 mapped monthly 9km SST": Monthly remote-sensing sea surface temperature from the MODIS Terra satellite at 9km spatial resolution

  • "Oceandata MODIS Aqua Level-3 mapped monthly 9km SST": Monthly remote-sensing SST from the MODIS Aqua satellite at 9km spatial resolution

  • "GHRSST Level 4 MUR Global Foundation SST v4.1": A Group for High Resolution Sea Surface Temperature (GHRSST) Level 4 sea surface temperature analysis produced as a retrospective dataset (four day latency) on a global 0.011 degree grid

The returned tibble contains more information about each source.
