In response to users’ needs, NOAA is developing a suite of multi-sensor gridded (0.02º resolution) super-collated (L3S) Advanced Clear Sky Processor for Ocean (ACSPO) SST products, which reduce number of files and data volume, while retaining high spatial and temporal resolution of the data. In 2020, two ACSPO L3S-LEO products were initiated from Low Earth Orbit satellites. Our next priority is the development of an hourly super-collated product generated from geostationary satellites (L3S-GEO). This paper describes the initial implementation of the L3S-GEO product, including end-to-end data production and initial evaluation, including consistency of satellite-specific GEO products where they overlap.
