The Annual Cycle of Satellite-derived Sea Surface Temperature in the Southwestern Atlantic Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The annual cycle of sea surface temperature (SST) in the southwestern Atlantic Ocean was estimated using four years (July 1984-July 1988) of NOAA Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer observations. High resolution ...
UCAR and NCAR at 40
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This article summarizes the activities of the past year's 40th anniversary celebration for the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research and the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR). NCAR's High Altitude ...
An Independent Assessment of Pathfinder AVHRR Sea Surface Temperature Accuracy Using the Marine Atmosphere Emitted Radiance Interferometer (MAERI)
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The remotely sensed sea surface temperature (SST) estimated from the 4?km?resolution Pathfinder SST algorithm is compared to a SST locally measured by the Marine Atmospheric Emitted Radiance Interferometer (MAERI) during ...
Processing, Compression and Transmission of Satellite IR Data for Near-Real-Time Use at Sea
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A method for acquisition, processing and analysis of digital, satellite-derived SST fields on a research vessel at sea in near-real-time (within 10 h of the satellite pass) is discussed. Such imagery provides a general ...
Development of Near-Surface Flow Pattern and Water Mass Distribution in the Somali Basin in Response to the Southwest Monsoon of 1979
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Near-surface observations of temperature, salinity and current are used to describe the seasonal reversal of the Somali Current during 1979, in response to the onset of the southwest monsoon winds. During April, prior to ...
