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.

From MODIS to VIIRS: Continuing the Legacy

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).
