AVHRR-and-VIIRS CoastWatch SST Products

OSPO provides the operational AVHRR (Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer) and VIIRS (Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer) swath and mapped files generated using the SeaSpace Corporation TeraScan software for NOAA CoastWatch Nodes and other users. Further details can be found in the ReadMe file. There are two main upper level directories: (1) Processed, which includes the AVHRR data, and (2) NDE Processed, which includes the SNPP VIIRS and NOAA20 VIIRS data. Multiple files are generated based on CoastWatch regions summarized below.
