Abstract: We present an objective analysis scheme for deriving cloud properties from satellite imagery data for oceanic regions. The scheme is based on the spatial coherence method. As this method is applicable only to simple layered ...

Abstract: A self-contained instrument, the Autonomously Recording Inverted Echo Sounder (ARIES II), carrying two 250-kHz beam side-scan sonars and with the capacity to record sonar data sampled at 3.2 kHz for 168 h with the sonars ...

Abstract: There are many infrared radiometer systems available for the measurement of in situ sea surface skin temperature (SSST). Unfortunately, the marine environment is extremely hostile to optical components, and to ensure the ...

Abstract: Satellite sea surface skin temperature (SSST) maps are readily available from precisely calibrated radiometer systems such as the ERS along-track scanning radiometer and, in the near future, from the moderate-resolution ...
