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 ...

Near–Sea Surface Temperature Stratification from SVP Drifters

Source: Journal of Atmospheric and Oceanic Technology:;2013:;volume( 030 ):;issue: 008:;page 1867

Author(s): Reverdin, G.; Morisset, S.; Bellenger, H.; Boutin, J.; Martin, N.; Blouch, P.; Rolland, J.; Gaillard, F.; Bouruet-Aubertot, P.; Ward, B.

Publisher: American Meteorological Society

Abstract: his study describes how the hull temperature (Ttop) measurements from multisensor surface velocity program (SVP) drifters can be combined with other measurements to provide quantitative information on near-surface vertical ...

Cirene: Air–Sea Interactions in the Seychelles–Chagos Thermocline Ridge Region

Source: Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society:;2009:;volume( 090 ):;issue: 001:;page 45

Author(s): Vialard, J.; Duvel, J. P.; Mcphaden, M. J.; Bouruet-Aubertot, P.; Ward, B.; Key, E.; Bourras, D.; Weller, R.; Minnett, P.; Weill, A.; Cassou, C.; Eymard, L.; Fristedt, T.; Basdevant, C.; Dandonneau, Y.; Duteil, O.; Izumo, T.; de Boyer Montégut, C.; Masson, S.; Marsac, F.; Menkes, C.; Kennan, S.

Publisher: American Meteorological Society

Abstract: The Vasco?Cirene program explores how strong air?sea interactions promoted by the shallow thermocline and high sea surface temperature in the Seychelles?Chagos thermocline ridge results in marked variability at synoptic, ...

Supplement to Cirene: Air—Sea Interactions in the Seychelles—Chagos Thermocline Ridge Region

Source: Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society:;2009:;volume( 090 ):;issue: 001:;page ES1

Author(s): Vialard, J.; Duvel, J. P.; Mcphaden, M. J.; Bouruet-Aubertot, P.; Ward, B.; Key, E.; Bourras, D.; Weller, R.; Minnett, P.; Weill, A.; Cassou, C.; Eymard, L.; Fristedt, T.; Basdevant, C.; Dandonneau, Y.; Duteil, O.; Izumo, T.; de Boyer Montégut, C.; Masson, S.; Marsac, F.; Menkes, C.; Kennan, S.

Publisher: American Meteorological Society

Abstract: The Vasco?Cirene field experiment, in January?February 2007, targeted the Seychelles?Chagos thermocline ridge (SCTR) region, with the main purpose of investigating Madden?Julian Oscillation (MJO)-related SST events. The ...

Satellite and In Situ Salinity: Understanding Near-Surface Stratification and Subfootprint Variability
