GHRSST mission: To provide operational users and the science community with the SST measured by the satellite constellation
GHRSST provides a framework for SST knowledge and data sharing, best practices for data processing, assessing uncertainties in the satellite SSTs, and a forum for scientific dialog including how best to provide SSTs for climate
studies, bringing SST to the operational users and scientific researchers.

Group for High Resolution Sea Surface Temperature Committee on Earth Observation SatellitesSea Surface Temperature Virtual Constellationhttp://www.ghrsst.org
• GHRSST, the Group for High Resolution Sea Surface Temperature grew out of a Pilot Project of the Global Ocean Data Assimilation Experiment (GODAE), 1997-2008.
• Composed of an international Science Team of researchers and operational practitioners.
• Coordinates research and operational developments in satellite-derived SST.
• Organized into Technical Advisory Groups and Task Teams focused on particular problems or activities.
• Data processing through Regional and Global Data Assembly Centers, combining satellite and NWP fields in common data formats for ease of access and analysis.
• Data are available in perpetuity at the GHRSST Long Term Stewardship and Reanalysis Facility at the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI).

Why is SST important?
• SST influences atmospheric circulation
– NWP boundary condition
• SST influences density and circulation of oceans
– Operational oceanography
• SST changes can impact ocean biogeochemistry
– Impact on fishing
• SST is an indicator of climate change
– Improving seasonal prediction

• GHRSST sources users requirements from many communities, including, for example:– The WMO Rolling Requirements Review– GODAE Ocean View and JCOMM ETOOFS– GCOS– OOPC– Internal GHRSST Science Team members
• GHRSST then synthesises these requirements into a common set of:– Measurement requirements for both space based and surface based
instrumentation• Includes a gap analyses and list of priorities
– Scientific and technical challenges for ongoing R&D elements• Drives the program of the working groups and technical advisory groups
GHRSST is driven by user requirements
