Format

The data are stored as 2-byte and 4-byte integers in fixed-length records. The choice of this simple format means that it should be a relatively simple matter to read the data on a variety of different computer set-ups and operating systems. Software is provided on the CDs to read and plot the data.

  • An infra-red radiometer capable of measuring sea surface temperature to better than 0.3K. The cd-rom dataset consists of two data products: (a) Spatially averaged sea surface temperatures (ASSTs) and (b) Time averaged global maps. The ASSTs are provided daily in half-degree cells together with temporal and positional information. The data cover the period August 1991 to July 1995.
