The images that are in these directories are three day composite images. The date on the image is the middle day of the three days. A composite is different than an average as it is used to reduce cloud coverage. This means that if there is cloud coverage on one or more of the data points, this value is not used to compute the average. These composites are made with both day and night satellite pass imagery. The Cuba satellite images have dimensions of 1576x610 pixels at a spatial resolution of 1.0 km x 1.0 km, covering the area 19.2° N - 24.7° N and 87.2° W - 73.0° W.These images are useful to examine the sea surface temperature patterns along the entire coast of Cuba, the Yucatan Channel, Windward Passage, and the southern Bahamas islands. The images serve particularly well to examine variations in nearshore waters of Cuba including large embayments such as the Gulf of Batabano, Archipielago de los Canarreos, etc. The archive is arranged by year and month. Links appearing in gray-on-gray text have no data available for that particular month. We offer our images with a Google Earth perspective.
