Timestamps with data provided in 'composite_start_time' and 'composite_end_time' define daylight hours as all data within that time window. Timestamps with data provided in 'minimum_sun_angle' defined daylight on a pixel-by-pixel basis dependent on the sun angle at that point and time. Data is regridded to a subset of the MUR SST grid.
This product is a daily coldest pixel composite using NOAA-AVHRR satellite SST declouded based on reflectivity in the visible spectrum. This method of declouding is limited to daylight hours, but lets in cold water that often gets flagged as clouds based on other declouding algorithms, making this product a useful tool for identifying upwelling regions and storm cooling earlier than they are typically seen in other SST products.
This product supported by the Board of Public Utilities.
