NESDIS creates this archive tape on January 10 of every year, archiving the monthly mean fields for the previous year. The data on this tape were derived exclusively from satellite data. The field has a 2.5 degree latitude-longitude resolution or 250-km resolution. For each 2.5 degree box in the field, there is a count of the number of observations in the box, the mean SST, and thestandard deviation about the mean. The SST Monthly Mean archive tape contains two files. The first fileis a Header File which contains information about the data on tape. The second file has 72 physical records, each containing 12 logical records consisting of satellite SST monthly mean data. For each month of the year and for each point of its geographical grid, thedata consists of: 1) the month's mean temperature, T; 2) the standard deviation of a single measure, sdT; and 3) the number ofobservations entering into the mean, N. Each of these quantities aresorted as 2-byte integers; T as degrees Celsius times 10, sdT as degrees Celsius times 100, and N as itself. The geographical grid establishes a global field of boxes at 2.5 degrees resolution. Boxes are bordered by meridians and parallels which are multiples of 2.5 degrees in latitude and longitude. Four of these boxes can be combined to produce multiples of 5 degrees in latitude and longitude. The second file contains 12 fields, the first is January, the last is December. Each field has 72 logical records grouped into 12 logical records per physical record or each field has 6 physical records. Each logical record is 876 bytes long with 10,512 bytes in a physical record. The first logical record in each field contains data for the 2.5 degrees latitude band with southern boundary at 90.0 degrees south. The 72nd logical record for a field has data for the 2.5 degrees latitude band with southern boundary at 87.5 degrees north. Within a latitude band, the first grid box has a western most boundaryof 180 degrees west. The 144th grid box has a western most boundary of 177.5 degrees east. Each grid box requires three 16-bit halfwords. In addition, the first of 12 bytes of each logical record contains the year, month and latitude of the latitude band. To make a wide range of climatic data available to researchers andthe public. completed DOC/NOAA/NESDIS/NCEI > National Centers for Environmental Information, NESDIS, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce Customer Engagement Branch 1-828-271-4800 1-828-271-4876 151 Patton Avenue Veach-Baley Federal Building, Room 468 Asheville NC 28801-5001 USA ncei.orders@noaa.gov https://www.ncei.noaa.gov HTTPS Web Browser NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) NCEI home page with information, data access and contact information. information 8:00 - 6:00 Eastern pointOfContact asNeeded Earth Science > Cryosphere > Sea Ice > Ice Edges Earth Science > Cryosphere > Sea Ice > Sea Ice Concentration Earth Science > Cryosphere > Sea Ice Earth Science > Oceans > Ocean Circulation > Ocean Currents Earth Science > Oceans > Ocean Circulation Earth Science > Oceans > Ocean Heat Budget Earth Science > Oceans > Ocean Temperature > Sea Surface Temperature Earth Science > Oceans > Ocean Temperature Earth Science > Oceans > Sea Ice > Ice Edges Earth Science > Oceans > Sea Ice > Sea Ice Concentration Earth Science > Oceans > Sea Ice Earth Science > Spectral/Engineering > Infrared Wavelengths > Reflected Infrared Earth Science > Spectral/Engineering > Infrared Wavelengths > Thermal Infrared Earth Science > Spectral/Engineering > Infrared Wavelengths theme Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Science Keywords 2018 revision Version 8.6 Global Change Data Center, Science and Exploration Directorate, Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) https://earthdata.nasa.gov/about/gcmd/global-change-master-directory-gcmd-keywords HTTPS Web Browser Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Keywords The information provided on this page seeks to define how the GCMD Keywords are structured, used and accessed.
