Sea surface temperature (Daily updated)

Daily global sea surface temperature (NOAA) This nowCOAST time-enabled map service provides a map depicting the latest daily sea surface temperature analyses from both the NOAA/NWS/NCEP operational Real-Time SST Analysis System, commonly referred to as RTG_SST, and NASA/SPoRT experimental Sea Surface Temperature Composite. The RTG_SST has a 1/12 degree (~9 km) grid resolution and covers the globe including the Great Lakes. SSTs are indicated by different colors at 2 degrees F intervals. NCEP generates the analysis once per day and it is updated on the nowCOAST map service around 0400 UTC (11 PM EST). The experimental SPoRT SST analysis has a 2 km grid resolution and covers the North Atlantic Ocean and the Eastern North Pacific Ocean, the Great Lakes, and occasionally other large lakes. SSTs are displayed by the same color scale used for the RTG_SST analysis. NASA generates the analysis twice per day and it is updated on the nowCOAST map service around 0330 UTC (2230 EST) and 1530 UTC (1030 EST).

source_abstract This nowCOAST™ time-enabled map service provides a map depicting the latest daily sea surface temperature analyses from both the NOAA/NWS/NCEP operational Near-Sea Surface Temperature (NSST) analysis and the NASA/SPoRT experimental North American Sea Surface Temperature Composite. The NSST analysis has a 1/12 degree (~9 km) grid resolution and covers the globe including the Great Lakes. SSTs are indicated by different colors at 2 degrees F intervals. NCEP generates the analysis once per day and it is updated on the nowCOAST™ map service around 0400 UTC (11 PM EST). The NSST replaced NCEP's Real-Time Global Sea Surface Temperature (RTGSST) analysis on February 11, 2020. The experimental SPoRT SST analysis has a 2 km grid resolution and covers the North Atlantic Ocean and the Eastern North Pacific Ocean, the Great Lakes, and occasionally other large lakes. SSTs are displayed by the same color scale used for the NCEP SST analysis. The NASA SPoRT group generates the analysis twice per day and it is updated on the nowCOAST™ map service around 0330 UTC (2230 EST) and 1530 UTC (1030 EST).
