ESA Sea Surface Temperature Climate Change Initiative (ESA SST CCI): Analysis long term product version 1.0
The ESA Sea Surface Temperature Climate Change Initiative (ESA SST CCI) dataset accurately maps the surface temperature of the global oceans over the period 1991 to 2010, using observations from many satellites. The data provides an independently quantified SST to a quality suitable for climate research.
The ESA SST CCI Analysis Long Term Product consists of daily, spatially complete fields of sea surface temperature (SST), obtained by combining the orbit data from the AVHRR and ATSR ESA SST CCI Long Term Products, using optimal interpolation to provide SSTs where there were no measurements. These data cover the period between 09/1991 and 12/2010.

Data availability and file format
The Analysis Product consists of daily, spatially complete fields of SST, obtained by combining the orbit
data from the AVHRR (Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer) and ATSR (Along Track Scanning Radiometer) Long Term products, using optimal interpolation to provide SSTs where
there were no measurements (a single file per day; 0.05° regular latitude-
longitude grid). These data start in September 1991.
The SSTs correspond approximately to the daily average of the temperature
of the water at 20 cm depth. Uncertainty estimates are provided for
each value.
The data are stored in NetCDF-4 format files. Data arrays in NetCDF files are
known as ‘variables’ 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.
Access to the ESA SST CCI Analysis long term product is available through our data browser here or via ftp at /neodc/esacci_sst/data/lt/Analysis
