Satellite observations of the inﬂuence of mesoscale ocean eddies on near-surface temperature, phytoplankton and surface stress

Creator:

Gaube, Peter

Abstract:

The influence of mesoscale ocean eddies on near-surface ocean temperature, surface stress and phytoplankton communities is investigated by collocating numerous satellite measurements along with vertical profiles of oceanic temperature and salinity to the interiors of eddies identified and tracked in altimetric sea surface height maps. The surface currents associated with...

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...
