Description

Important Note: This item is in mature support as of April 2024 and will be retired in December 2026.new version of this item is available for your use. Esri recommends updating your maps and apps to use the new version.

Sea Surface Temperature is a key climate and weather measurement used for weather prediction, ocean forecasts, tropical cyclone forecasts, and in coastal applications such as fisheries, pollution monitoring and tourism. El Niño and La Niña are two examples of climate events which are forecast through the use of sea surface temperature maps. 

The Naval Oceanographic Office sea surface temperature dataset is calculated from satellite-based microwave and infrared imagery. These data are optimally interpolated to provide a daily, global map of the midday (12:00 pm) sea surface temperature

Time: This is a time-enabled layer. It shows the average sea surface temperature during the map's time extent, or if time animation is disabled, a time range can be set using the layer's multidimensional settings. The map shows the average of all days in the time extent. Minimum temporal resolution is one day; maximum is one month.

What can you do with this layer?

Visualization: This layer can be used for visualization online in web maps and in ArcGIS Desktop.

Analysis: This layer can be used as an input to geoprocessing tools and model builder. Units are in degrees Celsius, and there is a processing template to convert pixels to Fahrenheit. Do not use this layer for analysis while the Cartographic Renderer processing template is applied.

This layer is part of the Living Atlas of the World that provides an easy way to explore the earth observation layers and many other beautiful and authoritative maps on hundreds of topics.

This page states the layer can be used as an input to geoprocessing. But the properties at https://earthobs2.arcgis.com/arcgis/rest/services/REMSS_SeaSurfaceTemp/ImageServer state Allow Analysis is null. Please either make the layer available for analysis (preferably) or remove the incorrect statement on this page.

How can I use this layer for making a time-enabled Dashboard for my area of interest? I would love to be able to click a particular pixel and see a timeline. Can this be done?
