The acoustic tomography approach provides an indirect measure of the temperature of an ocean volume. The technique provides an integrated measure of temperature along the sound propagation paths. The variety of paths between a transmitter and a receiver, as well as the large number of instruments deliver information on the variability of the thermal content of the insonified volume.

Advanced Along-Track Scanning Radiometer multimission data have been reprocessed to provide update retrievals of Sea Surface Temperature (SST) to produce the AATSR Reprocessing for Climate (ARC) dataset.

Measurements by drifting surface buoys. This system is a drifting mooring consisting of a surface buoy fastened to a floating anchor by a cable (trip line, buoy rope). It has to monitor as precisely as possible the water volume in which the floating anchor is immersed. The surface buoys are traced by Argos satellites.

This dataset provide a times series of daily multi-sensor composite fields of Sea Surface Temperature (SST) foundation at ultra high resolution (UHR) on a 0.02 x 0.02 degree grid (approximately 2 x 2 km) for the North-East Atlantic (European North West shelf, Iberia, Bay of Biscay, Irish Sea down to Canary upwelling), every 24 hours. Whereas along swath observation data essentially represent the skin or sub-skin SST, the L3S SST product is defined to represent the SST foundation (SSTfnd). SSTfnd is defined within GHRSST as the temperature at the base of the diurnal thermocline. It is so named because it represents the foundation temperature on which the diurnal thermocline develops during the day. SSTfnd changes only gradually along with the upper layer of the ocean, and by definition it is independent of skin SST fluctuations due to wind- and radiation-dependent diurnal stratification or skin layer response. It is therefore updated at intervals of 24 hrs. SSTfnd corresponds to the temperature of the upper mixed layer which is the part of the ocean represented by the top-most layer of grid cells in most numerical ocean models. It is never observed directly by satellites, but it comes closest to being detected by infrared and microwave radiometers during the night, when the previous day's diurnal stratification can be assumed to have decayed. The processing combines the observations of multiple polar orbiting and geostationary satellites, embedding infrared of microwave radiometers. All these sources are intercalibrated with each other before merging. A ranking procedure is used to select the best sensor observation for each grid point. The processing is described on Copernicus Marine Service [SST_ATL_PHY_L3S_NRT_010_037 dataset] and users can refer to the user manual and quality documents available there for more details. This dataset is generated daily within a 24 delay and is therefore suitable for assimilation into operational models. It is produced in the frame of Copernicus Marine Service and the data available through various tools and protocols with a simple user registration from this service (product identifier: SST_ATL_PHY_L3S_NRT_010_037) at: https://data.marine.copernicus.eu/product/SST_ATL_PHY_L3S_NRT_010_037/

This dataset provide a times series of daily multi-sensor composite fields of Sea Surface Temperature (SST) foundation at ultra-high resolution (HR) on a 0.02 x 0.02 degree grid (approximately 2 x 2 km) for the North East Atlantic, every 24 hours. An Optimal interpolation (OI) technique is used to combine coincident swath measures of SST from different types satellite sensors and to fill gaps where no observations are available or obstructed by clouds. This multi-sensor compositing and interpolation process categorizes this dataset as a Level 4 product. Each daily mean field is available the next day before 12:00.

This dataset provide a times series of daily mean fields of Sea Surface Temperature (SST) foundation at high resolution (UHR) on a 0.10 x 0.10 degree grid (approximately 10 x 10 km) for the Global Ocean, every 24 hours. An Optimal interpolation (OI) technique is used to combine coincident swath measures of SST from different types satellite sensors and to fill gaps where no observations are available or obstructed by clouds. This multi-sensor compositing and interpolation process categorizes this dataset as a Level 4 product. Each daily mean field is available the next day before 12:00. Whereas along swath observation data essentially represent the skin or sub-skin SST, the L4 SST product is defined to represent the SST foundation (SSTfnd). SSTfnd is defined within GHRSST-PP as the temperature at the base of the diurnal thermocline. It is so named because it represents the foundation temperature on which the diurnal thermocline develops during the day. SSTfnd changes only gradually along with the upper layer of the ocean, and by definition it is independent of skin SST fluctuations due to wind- and radiation-dependent diurnal stratification or skin layer response.

ARVOR-C is a subsurface profiling float designed to operate in coastal environments and to perform oceanographic measurements like a moored installation. Its design has been improved to reduce its drift thanks to a seabed claw and anti-drift claws, an optimized profile speed (~ 25 cm / s) and a short-period data transmission. It is able to process more than 300 profiles and real-time data transmission via Iridium satellite system.
