The data provides an independently quantified SST to a quality suitable for climate research. The ESA SST CCI Analysis Long Term Product consists of daily, spatially complete fields of sea surface temperature (SST), obtained by combining the orbit data from the AVHRR and ATSR ESA SST CCI Long Term Products, using optimal interpolation to provide SSTs where there were no measurements. These data cover the period between 09/1991 and 12/2010. This dataset is cited in: Merchant, C. J., Embury, O., Roberts-Jones, J., Fiedler, E., Bulgin, C. E., Corlett, G.

These data start in September 1991. The SSTs correspond approximately to the daily average of the temperature of the water at 20 cm depth. Uncertainty estimates are provided for each value. The data are stored in NetCDF-4 format files. Data arrays in NetCDF files are known as &#8216;variables&#8217; and each variable has metadata stored with it.
