Research and Development
There is a vast amount of research within the SST community at present. Particular challenges for the GHRSST-PP include:
- USe of SST data sets and maps for Coral Reef management in Australia (the ReefTemp project)
- Uncertainty estimation and Single Sensor Error Statistics for satellite data sets
- Understanding differences between L4 Analysis product (the GHRSST-PP Multi-Product Ensembe Technical Advisory Group (GMPE-TAG))
- SST in the marginal ice zone within the Sea Ice Technical Advisory Group (SI-TAG)
- Accounting for diurnal variability in SST
- Use of GHRSST data within the Australian Bluelink Reanalysis (BRAN)
- Cloud clearing of infrared satellite data sets
- Data merging techniques
- Bias correction of complementary data sets
- Calibration of microwave satellite radiometers
- Validation of SST data products, satellite sensors and analysis products
- Improvements to SST analysis systems
- Satellite SST data management in a distributed real time environemnt
