provide a data product suitable for use by GHRSST-PP data analysis systems and ocean model data assimilation<br />

schemes, the conform to the GODAE data sharing project.<br />

33 GDS-061 L2P data products are the lowest-level, common format data products produced by the GHRSST-PP and provide the<br />

NASR<br />

“building blocks” for all other higher level data products.<br />

33 GDS-062 Each L2P data product contains original SST measurements together with confidence fields and an error estimate (called<br />

SSES and described ion the following paragraphs). L2P data products consist of the original SST measurements (that are<br />

not re-gridded or modified) together with additional confidence and error estimates.<br />

L2P.0030<br />

L2P.0040<br />

L2P.0050<br />

33 GDS-063 A separate L2P data product is produced for each sensor at each RDAC. L2P.0070<br />

33 GDS-064 Operational users that have requested this type of SST data product (see the <strong>Medspiration</strong> <strong>User</strong> <strong>Requirements</strong> <strong>Document</strong><br />

SYS.2050<br />

(URD), available from the GHRSST-PP Project Office) may access L2P data products directly in real time from RDAC and<br />

GDAC.<br />

33 GDS-065 In addition, L2P data products provide a direct input to the GHRSST-PP Reanalysis project (Casey et al., 2003) and form<br />

NASR<br />

the principal data archive for the GHRSST-PP.<br />

33 GDS-066 A bias and standard deviation (sd.) error estimate is required for each [pixel] measurement before SST data originating<br />

L2P.0050<br />

from different sources can be properly assimilated into ocean model systems or analysed together to provide new SST<br />

data products. Assigning error estimates to SST measurements is a fundamental requirement of the GDS. Two types of<br />

error assignment are possible within a L2P data set:<br />

33 GDS-067 1. Error estimates provided by a data provider as part of the L2/L4 input data L2P.0050<br />

33 GDS-068 2. Statistical error estimates calculated from a match up database containing satellite and drifting/moored buoy in situ SST<br />

L2P.0050<br />

observations.<br />

33 GDS-069 In the case of (2), there are clearly insufficient buoy observations to assign a unique error estimate for every satellite<br />

NASR<br />

measurement and instead, the available data spanning a particular time-window must be used to assign a statistical error<br />
