This layer is an operational, cloud-free, satellite SST product for the SEACOOS domain. Using Optimal Interpolation (OI) three types of satellite sea surface temperature (SST) data are merged to produce a cloud-free satellite SST field. Input data come from NOAA and NASA satellites and are compiled and processed daily by the USF Ocean Circulation Group, http://ocg6.marine.usf.edu. DISPLAY NOTE : A land mask cover should be placed over this layer.
