ACSPO SSTs from VIIRS in AWIPS
ACSPO SSTs (range from 41 F to 68 F or 5 C to 20 C) at 0818 UTC on 10 October 2019 (Click to enlarge)
SSEC/CIMSS is producing Advanced Clear Sky Processor for Ocean ACSPO Sea Surface Temperatures (SSTs) from Direct Broadcast data received in Madison. (Here is a blog post on ACSPO SSTs in Guam) The example above shows Great Lakes water temperatures around 0800 UTC on 10 October 2019. The example below shows SSTs computed from the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) on Suomi-NPP and NOAA-20 around Vancouver Island from 8 through 10 October (a period when the Pacific Northwest was enjoying a spate of clear skies that are necessary for ACSPO SST computation). These data are available via LDM feed.
