The Operational Sea Surface Temperature and Sea Ice Analysis (OSTIA) analysis uses satellite data from sensors that include the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR), the Advanced Along Track Scanning Radiometer (AATSR), the Spinning Enhanced Visible and Infrared Imager (SEVIRI), the Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer-EOS (AMSRE), the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission Microwave Imager (TMI), and in situ data from drifting and moored buoys. This analysis has a highly smoothed SST field and was specifically produced to support SST data assimilation into Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) models.The Global Ocean Data Assimilation Experiment (GODAE)

These FRs contain the spatial and temporal domain contained in each data file. The DIF-style metadata (the DSD and its children FRs) are converted to a single FGDC record for each NODC GHRSST accession, which can consist of several discrete data files. This conversion is accomplished using an XML stylesheet which builds a framework FGDC record based on the DSD, and populates it with one Entity for each data file based on the FRs. These Entities are given three Attributes: Latitude, Longitude, and Time. The Range Domain Minimum and Maximum elements within each of those Attributes are use to describe the spatial and temporal domain contained in the data file. So, for example, the Range Domain Minimum for the Attribute Latitude corresponds to a South Bounding Coordinate for that Entity.The Recommended GHRSST-PP Data Processing Specification
