Sea surface temperature from space
A series of animations produced by the Ocean and Sea Ice SAF [http://www.osi-saf.org/] showing sea surface temperature (SST) as seen from Europe’s Metop and Meteosat satellites and Suomi-NPP.
1. SST from the AVHRR instrument onboard Metop-A in polar orbit 817 km above the Earth.
2. SST from the SEVIRI instrument onboard Meteosat-10, 36 000 km above the Earth in geostationary orbit. As Meteosat provides a fixed view of the Earth it can record changes in SST during the day.
3. SST from Meteosat-10 zoomed in on Europe.
4. SST from the Metop and Suomi-NPP satellites.
5. High latitude SST.
6. SST from the IASI instrument onboard Metop-A.
