[IDV #CHU-646786]: Sea surface temperature; weekly/monthly optical depth

There are global sea surface temperature (SST) models available that can
be read by the IDV. Under the Catalogs chooser/idvcatalog.xml go to:
Idv Catalog->UNidata IDD Model Data->UCAR (motherlode)->Selected NCEP model 
data converted to netcdf

As to calculating these values  - the IDV supports creating derived products 
from existing data.
You would have to figure out how to do this. Here is the relevant user guide 
section:

We don't have any predefined way of calculating sea surface temperature.
