Estimation of sea surface temperatures using GOES-8/9 radiance measurements

Sea surface temperatures (SSTs) are derived using measurements from the new generation of imaging instruments on the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellites (GOES). The National Environmental Satellite, Data and Information Service has been producing hourly GOES SST estimates since Decemb...
