attribute NC_GLOBAL summary String Analysed blended sea surface temperature over the global ocean using day and night input data. An SST estimation scheme which combines multi-satellite retrievals of sea surface temperature datasets available from polar orbiters, geostationary InfraRed (IR) and microwave sensors into a single global analysis. This global SST ananlysis provide a daily gap free map of the foundation sea surface temperature at 0.05o spatial resolution.
