Short summary
A sea surface temperature product that is constructed by blending in situ and satellite data with gaps filled using using optimum interpolation is described. Product format and characteristics (e.g., over 30-year time span; 0.25° (~ 25 km) daily resolution) that make it suitable for climate modeling, monitoring and other long-term studies at regional and local scales are described. The history of the product and earlier versions, a common source of confusion, are also discussed.
