Abstract
Sea surface temperature (SST) measurements from both spaceborne and in situ sensors are analyzed to determine likely temperature differences that can arise between two measurements separated in space and time. It is shown that spatial separations of about 10km and time intervals of about 2 hours can introduce rms differences of 0.2 K into the error budget of a satellite validation data set, this being an upper limit for the meaningful validation of current infrared radiometers. -from Author
