We are in the process of migrating all NASA Earth science data sites into Earthdata from now until end of 2026. Not all NASA Earth science data and resources will appear here until then. Thank you for your patience as we make this transition.

Sea Surface Temperature Data Access and Tools
Sea surface temperature data from NASA range from near-real-time retrospective Level 4 datasets to biogeochemical ocean model data. Our datasets and tools help users find and integrate the data they need to learn more about sea surface temperatures and what they mean for weather, climate, and ocean habitats and wildlife.

Featured Sea Surface Temperature: VIIRS
The Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) is aboard the joint NASA/NOAA Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership (Suomi NPP) and NOAA-20 platforms. VIIRS collects global visible and infrared imagery and other observations across Earth including over the ocean.
With the eventual retirement of the Terra and Aqua platforms, the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) instruments will take the lead in daily Earth observations.

The public release of the NAVO GHRSST Level 4 K10-SST GDS2.0 product provides global daily analyzed SST at a 1-meter reference depth.
The Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) will help ensure continuity of Earth observations after the upcoming retirement of the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS).
Join us to learn how to discover, subset, access and visualize both MODIS and VIIRS data products using a suite of user-friendly tools developed by NASA's ORNL DAAC.
