Journal ArticleDOI
Toward Improved Validation of Satellite Sea Surface Skin Temperature Measurements for Climate Research
Craig Donlon,Peter J. Minnett,Chelle L. Gentemann,T. J. Nightingale,I. J. Barton,Brian Ward,M. J. Murray +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a long-term global satellite SST skin validation strategy is proposed based on these observations, which is tested using SSTskin observations from the Along Track Scanning Radiometer, which are shown to be accurate to approximately 0.17 6 0.07 K rms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Wind Speed Effects on Sea Surface Emission and Reflection for the Along Track Scanning Radiometer
TL;DR: In this article, the emission and reflection properties of a rough sea surface are investigated, with particular emphasis on the wavelengths and viewing geometry relevant to the Along Track Scanning Radiometer.
Journal ArticleDOI
Implications of the oceanic thermal skin temperature deviation at high wind speed
TL;DR: In this article, the relationship between wind speed and the temperature deviation ΔT, defined as the sea surface skin temperature (SSST) minus the subsurface bulk sea surface temperature (BSST), is investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
An Infrared Sea Surface Temperature Autonomous Radiometer (ISAR) for Deployment aboard Volunteer Observing Ships (VOS)
Craig Donlon,Ian S. Robinson,M. Reynolds,Werenfrid Wimmer,G. Fisher,R. Edwards,T. J. Nightingale +6 more
TL;DR: 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.
Journal ArticleDOI
The accuracy of SST retrievals from AATSR: An initial assessment through geophysical validation against in situ radiometers, buoys and other SST data sets
Gary K. Corlett,I. J. Barton,Craig Donlon,M. C. Edwards,Simon A. Good,L.A. Horrocks,David Llewellyn-Jones,Christopher J. Merchant,Peter J. Minnett,T. J. Nightingale,E. J. Noyes,A. G. O'carroll,J. J. Remedios,Ian S. Robinson,Roger Saunders,J. G. Watts +15 more
TL;DR: The Advanced Along Track Scanning Radiometer (AATSR) as discussed by the authors was designed to retrieve precise and accurate global sea surface temperature (SST) that, combined with the large data set collected from its predecessors, ATSR and ATSSR-2, will provide a long term record of SST data that is greater than 15 years.
