Hi,

I would like to use the sst dataset (stored under ...\IDRISI Tutorial Data\ETM\SST) but i can't find the datasource.

Could you tell me from what (model/satellite/insitu) is it derived?

Many thanks,

Stephanie

  Stephanie,

  Here is the information on the dataset used in our tutorial. You can visit their ftpsite to see if they have updated data. 

  Sea Surface Temperature in Degrees Celsius

  SOURCE:

  NOAA Optimum Interpolation (OI) SST V2 data provided by the NOAA-CIRES Climate Diagnostics Center, Boulder, Colorado, USA, from their Web site at ftp://ftp.cdc.noaa.gov/Datasets/

  MODIFICATIONS:

  2 modifications were performed:
  
  converted to Deg C by dividing by 100
  
  LAND AREAS were masked out with this image:
  
  SST_water has a value of 1 in water areas

  Hope this helps.
