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 ...
Error Characteristics of the Atmospheric Correction Algorithms Used in Retrieval of Sea Surface Temperatures from Infrared Satellite Measurements: Global and Regional Aspects
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A database of cotemporal, collocated satellite and in situ observations is used to examine the association between the brightness temperature differences measured by the thermal infrared channels (T45) of the Advanced Very ...
Influence of an Offshore Shift in the Gulf Stream on Waters of the South Carolina Continental Shelf
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A 4.3-month-long dataset from moorings on the continental shelf off South Carolina during 1986 showed unusual midrecord shifts in bottom pressure, temperature, stratification, and alongshelf currents. The Gulf Stream moved ...
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 ...
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 ...
