Why?
International GODAE Steering Team concluded:
– The temporal and spatial resolution of existing SSTdata sets do not fulfill the requirements of GODAE andare not adequate for NWP, data assimilation, and oceanforecasting purposes.
OOPC/AOPC Workshop on global SST datasets:
– A broad range of SST product requirements includingaccuracy, spatial, and temporal resolution are not beingsatisfied.

Workshop Conclusions
Satellite and in situ SST measurements are fundamentallydifferent and satellites offer the only practical means ofproducing a realistic global SST productMost appropriate method of providing high-accuracy SSTproducts at high temporal and spatial resolution is bymerging complementary satellite and in situ dataBoth skin and subsurface SST fields are required in bothreal-time and delayed modes at various temporal andspatial resolutionsAlthough the datasets, knowledge, and tools are separatelyavailable, the formal combination of these resourcesneeded is absent
