AVHRR sea surface temperature 7 day

Sea surface temperature (SST) data are used to observe physical phenomena such as currents, fronts, and eddies, and SST is an important factor controlling biological activity or influencing animal behaviour. SST data are produced by NEODAAS from the AVHRR series at ~1 km resolution (at nadir). All satellite imagery are copyright of the Natural Environment Research Council Earth Observation Data Acquisition and Analysis Service (NEODAAS). These images are near-real time composites and higher quality data are available directly from NEODAAS. NEODAAS must be acknowledged if these images are used in publications or presentations.
