TL;DR: The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer will add a significant new capability for investigating the 70% of the Earth's surface that is covered by oceans, in addition to contributing to the continuation of a decadal scale time series necessary for climate change assessment in the oceans.

TL;DR: A new generation of integrated sea surface temperature (SST) data products are being provided by the Global Ocean Data Assimilation Experiment (GODAE) High-Resolution SST Pilot Project (GHRSST-PP) as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: A review of the current status of techniques for deriving sea surface temperatures (SST) from infrared satellite data is presented in this article, along with a survey of the different techniques employed for obtaining SST from space measurements.

TL;DR: In this article, the movement of a flood down the Darling River in central eastern Australia was monitored using AVHRR imagery during the observation period and thermal channels at night gave better contrast between the flood and the surrounding land than the visible and near infrared channels during the day.

TL;DR: In this paper, along-track scanning radiometer (ATSR) was designed to provide SST in cloud free areas with an accuracy of 0.3 K. The expected capabilities of the ATSR can be assessed using transmission models of infrared radiative transfer through the atmosphere, and the performances of several different models are compared by estimating the infrared brightness temperatures measured by the NOAA 9 AVHRR for three standard atmospheres.
