Deployed on AWS
Version 2 is the current version of the data set. Older versions will no longer be available and have been superseded by Version 2.
This land sea mask originated from the NOAA group at SSEC in the 1980s. It was originally produced at 1/6 deg resolution, and then regridded for the purposes of GPCP, TMPA, and IMERG precipitation products. NASA code 610.2, Terrestrial Information Systems Laboratory, restructured this land sea mask to match the IMERG grid, and converted the file to CF-compliant netCDF4. Version 2 was created in May, 2019 to resolve detected inaccuracies in coastal regions.
Users should be aware that this is a static mask, i.e. there is no seasonal or annual variability, and it is due for update. It is not recommended to be used outside of the aforementioned precipitation data.

The Global Ocean component of the Met Office Global Coupled Atmosphere-Land-Ocean-Ice system which has been running in operations since May 2022. The system provides a global physical analysis and coupled forecast products providing 3D daily mean fields of temperature and salinity, zonal and meridional velocities; 2D daily mean fields of sea surface height, bottom temperature, mixed layer depth, sea ice fraction, sea ice thickness and sea ice zonal and meridional velocities; and instantaneous hourly fields for sea surface height, sea surface temperature and surface currents. The Met Office Global Coupled Atmosphere-Land-Ocean-Ice system is comprised of both deterministic and ensemble forecasting systems both of which are coupled to an interactive ocean. Ocean and ice analysis and forecast products are currently generated from the deterministic system once a day with forecast with lead time out to 7 days, interpolated onto a regular latitude-longitude grid products by our Global Ma[...]

Global daily-mean sea surface temperatures, presented on a 0.05° latitude-longitude grid, with gaps between available daily observations filled by statistical means, spanning late 1981 to recent time. Suitable for large-scale oceanographic meteorological and climatological applications, such as evaluating or constraining environmental models or case-studies of marine heat wave events. Includes temperature uncertainty information and auxiliary information about land-sea fraction and sea-ice coverage. For reference and citation see: www.nature.com/articles/s41597-019-0236-x.
This data set consists of observations from the Sentinel-3 satellite of the European Commission’s Copernicus Earth Observation Programme. Sentinel-3 is a polar orbiting satellite that completes 14 orbits of the Earth a day. It carries the Ocean and Land Colour Instrument (OLCI) for medium resolution marine and terrestrial optical measurements, the Sea and Land Surface Temperature Radiometer (SLSTR), the SAR Radar Altimeter (SRAL), the MicroWave Radiometer (MWR) and the Precise Orbit Determination (POD) instruments. The satellite was launched in 2016 and entered routine operational phase in 2017. Data is available from July 2017 onwards.
Sentinel-1 is a pair of European radar imaging (SAR) satellites launched in 2014 and 2016. Its 6 days revisit cycle and ability to observe through clouds makes it perfect for sea and land monitoring, emergency response due to environmental disasters, and economic applications. This dataset represents the global Sentinel-1 GRD archive, from beginning to the present, converted to cloud-optimized GeoTIFF format.
