5.2.4 Reference data sets<br />

The following reference data sets have been identified<br />

• 10 day minimum climatologic SST<br />

• MODIS/Terra land cover<br />

• Most recent SST analysis : to be provided by GHRSST; meanwhile, a 10 day mean<br />

climatology will be used.<br />

• Upwelling maps (EUR/ATLUPW and EUR/MEDUPW): they will be derived from the<br />

Landmask (LPDAAC/LANDMASK) at 10 km resolution over the Atlantic and 2 km<br />

resolution over the Mediterranean. A coastal area will be defined as<br />

upwelling_distance (km) away from coastline, upwelling_distance should be distinct<br />

in the Atlantic and in the Mediterranean.<br />

• Contamination map : equivalent to the land mask at the micro-wave SST resolution<br />

over the Atlantic.<br />
