Satellite infrared measurement of sea surface temperature : empirically evaluating the thin approximation

Creator:

Kowalski, Andrew S.

Abstract:

Satellite technology represents the only technique for measuring sea surface temperatures (SSTs) on a global scale. SSTs are important as boundary conditions for climate and atmospheric boundary layer models which attempt to describe phenomena of all scales, ranging from local forecasts to predictions of global warming. Historical use of infrared...
