The data provides an independently quantified SST to a quality suitable for climate research. The ESA SST CCI ATSR (Along-Track Scanning Radiometer) Long Term Product version 1.1 consists of stable, low-bias sea surface temperature (SST) data covering the period 08/1991 - 04/2012. The L3U data product provides these SST data regridded onto a global longitude-latitude grid. The version 1.1 data is an update to the version 1.0 dataset. This dataset is cited in: Merchant, C.

These start in August 1991. Each file contains two sets of SSTs. The first set provides a measure of the temperature of the skin of the water at the time it was observed; the second set are estimates of the temperature at 20 cm depth and at either 1030 h or 2230 h local time. Each SST has associated with it a total uncertainty estimate, and uncertainty estimates for various contributions to that total uncertainty. The data are stored in NetCDF-4 format files. Data arrays in NetCDF files are known as &#8216;variables&#8217; and each variable has metadata stored with it. Please read the ESA CCI SST Product User Guide, available here before using the data. There is also a Quick Start Guide here.
