For your most recent question, are you referring to a daily data product or a data product for a longer period (8-day or monthly)?

SST can provide data with some cloud cover (high clouds/cirrus) where there will be no visible range data.

Hello, The "best" data product for your requirements is a more complex question. I am providing a couple of references (even though one is several years old) that discuss the issue. Because there are several causes of differences between daytime and nighttime SST, I do not think an average...

Hello, One of the primary reasons is that in many places there will be a diurnal heating cycle due to warming of the surface skin layer by sunlight. It is also dependent on wind speed, as the heating effect of sunlight will be affected by wave action and mixing with the cooler waters below the surfa...

John, Thank you for your comments. OCO-2 uses sunlight to perform its measurements, which limits coverage in the polar regions. "A set of eight measurements are made along a narrow ground track as the spacecraft travels about 2.25 km along its orbit track, providing spatial resolution of <3 km2...

Hello,
To assist you further, our data specialist would like to know if you are interested in grid sizes other than 0.25 degree, and what temporal period you are investigating.

Thanks!

I apologize for the weekend delay.

I will forward your question to our scientific staff. While waiting for their response, I recommend examining this How-To document to determine if will assist your efforts:

Yes, this can still be done. For area-averaged time-series data, the output is still available as CSV, consisting of time/date and the value of the area average for each time increment. If you are seeking the values from the grid of a time-averaged map, we have a How-To document describing how this ...

Hello and thanks for your question. We can consult our data specialists and reply shortly. Two questions to aid us in our response: 1. Are you seeking Level 2 swath data or Level 3 global gridded data? 2. If L3, do you want to subset for a region or acquire the full global file? Because you asked ab...

Hello, You can download data for a specified bounding box using Giovanni for the MODIS-Aqua mapped 4 km resolution data product. We are awaiting an update for the latter half of 2020, which is in progress. https://giovanni.gsfc.nasa.gov The OB.DAAC staff may also reply to your query here; I am just ...
