[05-Oct-2022] This animation shows the survey track and in-situ measurements for the Saildrone 2021 Arctic field campaign for the Multi-Sensor Improved SST (MISST) project. The mission consisted of two Saildrone deployments focused in the Chukchi Sea from 6 July to 20 October 2021. Here we see sea surface temperature and sea surface salinity from one Saildrone, SD1057, overlaid on GHRSST REMS MW-IR-OI and SMAP RSS satellite observations. Time series are also plotted to compare Saildrone measurements and satellite data interpolated onto the Saildrone track. The project, Multi-sensor Improved Sea-Surface Temperature (MISST), is funded by NASA through the National Ocean Partnership Program (NOPP). The dataset can be accessed from the PO.DAAC Portal at Saildrone 2021 Arctic field campaign for the Multi-Sensor Improved SST (MISST) project| Physical Oceanography Distributed Active Archive Center (PO.DAAC) (DOI: 10.5067/SDRON-ARC21).
