Global high-resolution sea surface hemispherical broadband emissivity dataset (1980-2020)

<p>This is the global sea surface hemispherical broadband emissivity (BBE, 8-13.5 micrometer) dataset (0.1&deg;) derived by a lookup table-based method developed by Cheng et al., (2017). The accuracy of the estimated hemispherical BBE was 0.003 given a wind speed of zero. The foam effect was also incorporated&nbsp;into the BBE dataset.</p> <p>This dataset spans from 1980 to 2020.</p> <p><strong>Dataset Characteristics:</strong></p> <ul> <li>Spatial Coverage: Global</li> <li>Temporal Coverage: 1980.01-2020.12</li> <li>Spectral Range: 8~13.5&mu;m</li> <li>Spatial Resolution: 0.1&deg;</li> <li>Temporal Resolution: Daily (instantaneous at 12:30)</li> <li>Projection: GCS_WGS_1984</li> <li>Data Format: HDF</li> </ul> <p><strong>Citation&nbsp;</strong>(Please cite these papers when using the data)<strong>:</strong></p> <ol> <li> <p>Cheng, J., et al.
