Impacts to recent PO.DAAC SST datasets

[colleen]

Due to the major weather impacts from the recent hurricanes Helene and Milton on NOAA data centers several PO.DAAC sea surface temperature (SST) datasets have been affected.

These include missing data from:

• AVHRR_OI-NCEI-L4-GLOB-v2.1
• AMSR2-REMSS-L2P-v8.2
• AMSR2-REMSS-L2P_RT-v8.2
• AMSR2-REMSS-L3U-v8.2
• AMSR2-REMSS-L3U_RT-v8.2

The quality of the MUR-JPL-L4-GLOB-v4.1 and MUR25-JPL-L4-GLOB-v04.2 datasets have also been impacted as the L2 AMSR2 Microwave SST data are key input layers in these blended L4 datasets.
