This data set contains the standard deviation of the MODIS Terra sea surface temperature generated from the climatology monthly means; the monthly climatologies represent the mean values for each month across the whole dataset time series. The data are received as monthly composites, with a 4 km resolution, and are constrained to the region between 90E and 180E, and 10N to 60S. The data was sourced from http://modis.gsfc.nasa.gov/. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) administered by NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, is a 36-band spectroradiometer measuring visible and infrared radiation and obtaining data that are being used to derive products ranging from vegetation, land surface cover, and ocean chlorophyll fluorescence to cloud and aerosol properties, fire occurrence, snow cover on the land, and sea ice cover on the oceans, from a continuous global coverage every 1 to 2 days. The first MODIS instrument was launched on board the Terra satellite in December 1999. This dataset is a contribution to the CERF Marine Biodiversity Hub.
