However, such monitoring requires modifications of the conventional SST retrieval algorithms. In order to closely reproduce temporal and spatial variations in SST, the sensitivity of retrieved SST to SSTskin should be as close to 1 as possible. Regression algorithms trained by matching satellite observations with in situ SST from drifting and moored buoys do not meet this requirement. Since the geostationary sensors observe tropical regions over larger domains and under more favorable conditions than mid-to-high latitudes, the matchups are predominantly concentrated within a narrow range of in situ SSTs &gt;2 85 K. As a result, the algorithms trained against in situ SST provide the sensitivity to SSTskin as low as ~0.7 on average. An alternative training method, employed in the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Advanced Clear-Sky Processor for Oceans, matches nighttime satellite clear-sky observations with the analysis L4 SST, interpolated to the sensor\u2019s pixels. The method takes advantage of the total number of clear-sky pixels being large even at high latitudes. The operational use of this training method for ABI and AHI has increased the mean sensitivity of the global regression SST to ~0.9 without increasing regional biases. As a further development towards improved SSTskin retrieval, the piecewise regression SST algorithm was developed, which provides optimal sensitivity in every SST pixel. The paper describes the global and the piecewise regression algorithms trained against analysis SST and illustrates their performance with SST retrievals from the GOES-16 ABI.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs11020206","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,1,22]],"date-time":"2019-01-22T03:08:22Z","timestamp":1548126502000},"page":"206","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["Optimization of Sensitivity of GOES-16 ABI Sea Surface Temperature by Matching Satellite Observations with L4 Analysis"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Boris","family":"Petrenko","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"NOAA STAR, NCWCP, 5830 University Research Court, College Park, MD 20740, USA"},{"name":"Global Science and Technology, Inc., 7855 Walker Dr # 200, Greenbelt, MD 20770, USA"}]},{"given":"Alexander","family":"Ignatov","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"NOAA STAR, NCWCP, 5830 University Research Court, College Park, MD 20740, USA"}]},{"given":"Yury","family":"Kihai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"NOAA STAR, NCWCP, 5830 University Research Court, College Park, MD 20740, USA"},{"name":"Global Science and Technology, Inc., 7855 Walker Dr # 200, Greenbelt, MD 20770, USA"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3177-1399","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Matthew","family":"Pennybacker","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"NOAA STAR, NCWCP, 5830 University Research Court, College Park, MD 20740, USA"},{"name":"Global Science and Technology, Inc., 7855 Walker Dr # 200, Greenbelt, MD 20770, USA"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,1,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"721","DOI":"10.1007\/s10872-007-0063-0","article-title":"Diurnal sea surface temperature variation and its impact on the atmosphere and ocean: A review","volume":"63","author":"Kawai","year":"2007","journal-title":"J.
