Sea Surface Temperature CCI Project

The Sea Surface Temperature Climate Change Initiative (SST CCI) project will accurately map the surface temperature of the global oceans over the period 1991 to 2010, using observations from many satellites. The aim is to independently quantify SST to a quality suitable for climate research.

The project started in August 2010. It is part of a wider initiative by the European Space Agency (ESA) addressing several essential climate variables in addition to SST.

As well as new data, we will specify a system for SST for climate for the future. Read more »

Algorithm Selection Report

Flying thermometers

A new article on ESA's 'Observing the Earth' website cites work performed by the SST_cci project team and the importance of bridging the data gap between AATSR and SLSTR, following the failure of Envisat on 8 April 2012. The article also refers to the GHRSST meeting held in Tokyo between 4-8 June 2012, at which several presentations were made on the results of the SST_cci project to date.

ESA Climate Change Initiative

Climate change is arguably the greatest challenge facing mankind in the twenty-first century. Its importance has been recognised in recent reports from the IPCC and from UNFCCC, and the overwhelming economic consequences are set out in the Stern Report. Read more »
