CEOS, IOOS, ESA, NASA, NOAA, EUMETSAT, JAXA, JMA, Meteo France, Medspiration, Ifremer, US Navy, My Ocean, RAL, NOC, OSI SAF, PO DAAC, BOM, CSIRO, DMI, RSMAS, U. Rhode Island, U. Leicester, U. Rading, CSU, CIRA, .. Aimed at serving high-quality SST to users Formed in 2000 Governed by International Science Team Includes 10 science advisory and working groups Specific for nesdis 8 March 2012

3 GHRSST Objective The aim of the GHRSST is to provide the best quality sea surface temperature data for applications in short, medium and decadal/ climate time scales in the most cost effective and efficient manner through international collaboration and scientific innovation. Specific for nesdis 8 March 2012

4 Why GHRSST is interested in GSICS?
SST is highly accurate/precise product used for Climate monitoring Operational weather and ocean forecast Ecosystem assessment, tourism and fisheries Forcing/Validating Ocean models Military/Defense applications SST is retrieved from multiple thermal IR and Microwave measurements POES IR: AVHRR, MODIS, ATSR, VIIRS GEO IR: GOES, MSG/SEVIRI, MTSAT, GOES-R/ABI MW: AMSR-E, TMI, GCOM-W Radiometric needs for two types of SST retrievals Heritage Regression: Radiance stability of individual sensors New Physical (RTM-based): Absolute accuracy, cross-platform consistency GSICS-GHRSST Link GSICS – provide highly accurate and consistent radiances to GHRSST GHRSST – provide feedback to GSICS community on radiances performance Specific for nesdis 8 March 2012

5 Example of GHRSST-GSICS synergy
8 March 2012

6 GHRSST Points of Contact
Peter Minnett - GHRSST Chair Andrea Keiser-Weiss - GHRSST Project Coordinator Alexander “Sasha” Ignatov - GSICS POC Specific for nesdis 8 March 2012
