Abstract: Satellite measurements of sea surface temperature (SST) are regularly available from data supplied by the AVHRR instruments on the NOAA meteorological satellites. In cloudless areas SST is derived from the infrared data ...

Abstract: The correction of a land surface albedo estimate made at one solar zenith angle (SZA) from a polar-orbiting satellite to a standard SZA or to a daily mean albedo requires knowledge of the dependence of the albedo on SZA. ...

Abstract: The Along Track Scanning Radiometer (ATSR) was launched on the ERS-1 satellite on 17 July 1991. During the following six months, a concentrated effort was made to validate the sea surface temperature (SST) derived from ...

Abstract: An accurate platinum RTD-based (resistive temperature device) system has been developed to measure the vertical temperature profile in the region of the atmosphere-ocean interface. TASITA, the towed air?sea interaction ...
