This blog consists of notes of discussions within the project team of the Sea Surface Temperature Climate Change Initiative (www.esa-sst-cci.org). It is both a record that is useful for us, and an experiment in running a large multi-institute climate-change project in a more transparent way.

Algorithm Selection underway
Previous posts have mentioned the "Round Robin" process, by which different options for estimating sea surface temperature are objectively compared using common data. This has depended on having other SST investigators work with our data distribution and submit their SSTs. A big thank-you to Caroline Cox (Rutherford Appleton Lab) and Boris Petrenko (NOAA) for participating in a timely fashion!
We have overlapping results to compare for:
ATSR2 and AATSR (from Caroline Cox and SST CCI project-team)
AVHRR 18 to 19 and Metop-A (from Boris Petrenko and SST CCI project team)
For these sensors there are typically different channel combinations for day and night, and several algorithms, so the inter-comparison is a complex exercise.
