About this dataset

NOAA daily Optimum Interpolation Sea Surface Temperature (OISST) at 0.25° resolution from 1981-present.

NOAA OISST (Optimum Interpolation Sea Surface Temperature) provides daily global sea surface temperature data at 0.25° (~28km) resolution from September 1981 to present. It blends satellite observations (AVHRR, AMSR, VIIRS) with in-situ measurements from buoys and ships using optimum interpolation to produce a consistent, gap-free SST record.

FAQ

How is OISST different from other SST products?

OISST uses optimum interpolation which fills gaps in satellite coverage using in-situ data, providing a complete global SST field every day. It is the most widely used SST dataset for climate and ocean studies.

What is the resolution of OISST?

The standard OISST product is at 0.25° (~28km at equator). A higher-resolution 0.05° product based on GHRSST is also available.
