An Infrared Sea Surface Temperature Autonomous Radiometer (ISAR) for Deployment aboard Volunteer Observing Ships (VOS)

Source: Journal of Atmospheric and Oceanic Technology:;2008:;volume( 025 ):;issue: 001:;page 93

Author(s): Donlon, C.; Robinson, I. S.; Wimmer, W.; Fisher, G.; Reynolds, M.; Edwards, R.; Nightingale, T. J.

Publisher: American Meteorological Society

Abstract: The infrared SST autonomous radiometer (ISAR) is a self-calibrating instrument capable of measuring in situ sea surface skin temperature (SSTskin) to an accuracy of 0.1 K. Extensive field deployments alongside two independent ...

Toward Improved Validation of Satellite Sea Surface Skin Temperature Measurements for Climate Research

Source: Journal of Climate:;2002:;volume( 015 ):;issue: 004:;page 353

Author(s): Donlon, C. J.; Minnett, P. J.; Gentemann, C.; Nightingale, T. J.; Barton, I. J.; Ward, B.; Murray, M. J.

Publisher: American Meteorological Society

Abstract: A poor validation strategy will compromise the quality of satellite-derived sea surface temperature (SST) products because confidence limits cannot be quantified. This paper addresses the question of how to provide the ...

Calibration of the Improved Stratospheric and Mesospheric Sounder. Part II: Optical Alignment, Spatial, and Pressure Modulator Calibrations
