Abstract: The Visible Infrared Spin-Scan Radiometer (VISSR) Atmospheric Sounder (VAS) split-window channels at 10?12.5 ?m and 12.6?12.8 ?m can be used to give measurements of sea surface temperature (SST) and precipitable water ...

Abstract: The Advanced Very High-Resolution Radiometers (AVHRR 2) on the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) operational meteorological satellites (currently NOAA-11) provide radiometric data at wavelengths of ...

Abstract: Cross-correlation analyses of successive satellite images of the ocean surface can provide estimates of surface currents by tracking features of temperature or ocean color. While the technique successfully identifies many ...

Abstract: During 30 days in May and June 2003, the R/V Southern Surveyor was operating in the Gulf of Carpentaria, northern Australia. Measurements of sea surface temperature (SST) were made with an accurate single-channel infrared ...

Abstract: Analyses based on atmospheric infrared radiative transfer simulations and collocated ship and satellite data are used to investigate whether knowledge of vertical atmospheric water vapor distributions can improve the ...

Abstract: Ocean surface circulation can be estimated by automated tracking of thermal infrared features in pairs of sequential satellite imagery. A 7-yr time series of velocity, extracted from thermal imagery of the East Australian ...
