The ODYSSEA Galapagos and Pacific Central America Sea Surface Temperature is produced at Ifremer/CERSAT. It provides a daily cloud-free field of foundation sea surface temperature at 2 km resolution (0.02 degree). It is generated by merging all available satellite sensors for sea surface temperature (micro-wave and infra-red), after careful intercalibration using AATSR sensor as reference (previously re-calibrated using all available in situ data). The development of this real-time sea surface temperature at Ifremer/CERSAT is supported by ESA initially in the frame of Medspiration project.
