GSST - Gridded Sea Surface Temperature

GSST is a gridded sea-surface temperature product (an extension of the SADIST-1 SST product). The product contains gridded sea-surface temperature images using both nadir-only and dual view retrieval algorithms. The product optionally includes pixel latitude/longitude positions, X/Y offsets (sub-pixel across-track/along-track) co-ordinates, and the results of cloud-clearing/land flagging.

Gridded products contain 512x512 pixel images. The correspondence between pixel and the ATSR instrument scan from which it came has been lost. Nadir and forward view pixels are collocated, and have been regridded onto a 1km grid.
