The Global Ocean Data Assimilation Experiment (GODAE) high-resolution sea surface temperature pilot project (GHRSST-PP) has been established to give international focus and coordination to the development of a new generation of global, multi-sensor, high-resolution (~6 hours and 10 km), SST products.
The GHRSST-PP brings together international Space Agencies, Research Institutes, Universities, operational ocean forecasting agencies (civil and military) and Government agencies to collectively solve the scientific, logistical and managerial challenges posed by creating the SST data products and services within the GHRSST-PP.Following a period of preparation throughout 2002 and early 2003, the GHRSST-PP will implement a system that will provide a demonstration of the operational advantages and value of including high resolution SST data sets in climate and ocean modelling in real time during the 2003-2005 GODAE demonstration phase.
