Medspiration products user manual, Robinson I., Leborgne P., Piolle J.F., Larnicol G., v1.02, September 2004

GHRSST-PP L2P data derived using Remote Sensing Systems BMAPS format AMSR-E SSTsub-skin data. Data are downloaded form Remote Sensing Systems every hour to capture the latest AMSRE observations. L2P data products are then derived following the GHRSST-PP Data Processing Specification (GDS) version 1.5 avaialable from http://ghrsst-pp.metoffice.com/documents/GDS-v1.0-rev1.5.pdf. Single Sensor Error Statistics (SSES) are provided based on the GDS-v1.5 specification.
