NOAA ACSPO v2.71 GOES-17/West ABI L3C SST

Description The ACSPO G17/ABI L3C product is a gridded version of the ACSPO G17/ABI L2P SST available at https://podaac.jpl.nasa.gov/dataset/ABI_G17-STAR-L2P-v2.71 . The L3C output files are 1hr granules in NetCDF4 format, compliant with the GHRSST Data Specification v2 (GDS2). Due to the loop heat pipe (LHP) issue on G17 ABI, there are only 13 granules available per 24hr interval, from 20UTC to 08UTC, followed by a break from 09UTC to 19UTC, with a total data volume of 0.1GB/day. Valid SSTs are found over oceans, sea, lakes or rivers, with fill values reported elsewhere. All valid SSTs in L3C are recommended for users, although data over internal waters may not have enough in situ data to be adequately validated. Per GDS2 specifications, two additional Sensor-Specific Error Statistics layers (bias and standard deviation) are reported in each pixel with valid SST. The product is monitored and validated against iQuam in situ data https://www.star.nesdis.noaa.gov/socd/sst/iquam in the NOAA SQUAM system https://www.star.nesdis.noaa.gov/socd/sst/squam . Quality of SST imagery and clear-sky mask are evaluated in the NOAA ARMS system https://www.star.nesdis.noaa.gov/socd/sst/arms .
