Abstract: The retrieval (estimation) of sea surface temperatures (SSTs) from space-based infrared observations is increasingly performed using retrieval coefficients derived from radiative transfer simulations of top-of-atmosphere ...

Abstract: The presence of stratospheric aerosol can bias the results of infrared satellite retrievals of sea surface temperature (SST) and total precipitable water (TPW). In the case of linear SST retrieval using the Along Track ...

Abstract: ime series of global and regional mean surface air temperature (SAT) anomalies are a common metric used to estimate recent climate change. Various techniques can be used to create these time series from meteorological ...

Abstract: obal surface-temperature is a fundamental measure of climate change. We discuss bias estimation for sea-surface temperature and recommend the improvements to data, observational metadata, and uncertainty modeling needed ...

Abstract: In this study, the ESA Climate Change Initiative (CCI) introduces a three-level definition of consistency between multiple satellite-based Climate Data Records (CDRs) of Essential Climate Variables (ECVs), discusses ...

Abstract: The main goals and activities of the EUSTACE project are discussed along with some key results, including a global, multi-decadal daily air temperature record from satellite and in situ measurements.Day-to-day variations ...
