RISSatellite Observations of the Influence of Bottom Topography on the Seaward Deflection of the Gulf Stream off Charleston, South Carolina
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: High-resolution thermal infrared data from the NOAA polar orbiting satellites are studied for the Gulf Stream between Florida and Cape Hatteras from the fall of 1974 to the spring of 1977. The sea surface temperature ...
Sea Surface Temperatures from the GOES-8 Geostationary Satellite
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The introduction of the 10-bit, five-band, multispectral visible and thermal infrared scanner on the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's GOES-8 satellite in 1994 offers an opportunity to estimate sea surface ...
Satellite Observations of Mesoscale Eddy Dynamics in the Eastern Tropical Pacific Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Active mesoscale (300 km diameter) eddy formation off the Pacific coast of Central America was observed during February 1976 by a thermal infrared sensor aboard the NOAA 4 satellite. These anticyclonic eddies, closely ...
Equatorial Long Waves in Geostationary Satellite Observations and in a Multichannel Sea Surface Temperature Analysis
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Geostationary satellite observations of a zonally oriented sea surface temperature front in the eastern equatorial Pacific were made between 1975 and 1981. Long waves appeared along the front mainly during the summer and ...
