        • summary: This netCDF-4 file contains sea surface temperature (SST) data produced as part of the AVHRR Pathfinder SST Project. These data were created using Version 5.3 of the Pathfinder algorithm and the file is nearly but not completely compliant with the GHRSST Data Specifications V2.0 (GDS2). The sses_bias and sses_standard_deviation variables are empty. Full compliance with GDS2 specifications will be achieved in the future Pathfinder Version 6. These data were created by the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI). (Type is String)

    • comment: These are the overall quality indicators and are used for all GHRSST SSTs. Note, the native Pathfinder processing system returns quality levels ranging from 0 to 7 (7 is best quality; -1 represents missing data) and has been converted to the extent possible into the six levels required by the GDS2 (ranging from 0 to 5, where 5 is best). Below is the conversion table: GDS2 required quality_level 5 = native Pathfinder quality level 7 == best_quality GDS2 required quality_level 4 = native Pathfinder quality level 4-6 == acceptable_quality GDS2 required quality_level 3 = native Pathfinder quality level 2-3 == low_quality GDS2 required quality_level 2 = native Pathfinder quality level 1 == worst_quality GDS2 required quality_level 1 = native Pathfinder quality level 0 = bad_data GDS2 required quality_level 0 = native Pathfinder quality level -1 = missing_data The original Pathfinder quality level is recorded in the optional variable pathfinder_quality_level.

    • comment: Bit zero (0) is always set to zero to indicate infrared data. Bit one (1) is set to zero for any pixel over water (ocean, lakes and rivers). Land pixels were determined by rasterizing the Global Self-consistent Hierarchical High-resolution Shoreline (GSHHS) Database from the NOAA National Geophysical Data Center. Any 4 km Pathfinder pixel whose area is 50% or more covered by land has bit one (1) set to 1. Bit two (2) is set to 1 when the sea_ice_fraction is 0.15 or greater. Bits three (3) and four (4) indicate lake and river pixels, respectively, and were determined by rasterizing the US World Wildlife Fund's Global Lakes and Wetlands Database. Any 4 km Pathfinder pixel whose area is 50% or more covered by lake has bit three (3) set to 1. Any 4 km Pathfinder pixel whose area is 50% or more covered by river has bit four (4) set to 1. Bits six (6) indicates the daytime unrealistic SST values (>39.8\302\260C) that remain in pf_quality_level 4 to 7. Users are recommended to avoid these values. (Type is String)
