MODIS derived Sea Surface Temperature (SST) datasets

Updated: 2018-04-22

The datasets measure the Sea Surface Temperature (SST) of Australian oceans. They are derived products from MODIS (aqua) images using NASA's SeaDAS image processing software. The extent of the datasets covers the entire Australian EEZ and surrounding waters (including the southern ocean). The spatial resolution of the datasets is 0.01 dd. The datasets contain 126 monthly SST layers between 2002 and 2012.
