Satellite remote sensing of sea surface temperatures

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Chapter

Abstract

Global measurements of sea-surface temperatures from satellites have been feasible for nearly four decades and a wide range of applications have been developed including weather forecasting, including of severe storms, and studies of the oceans, atmosphere, and climate. The physical basis of accurate remote sensing of sea-surface temperatures is presented and the characteristics of radiometers on polar-orbiting and geostationary satellites are discussed. Examples of applications of satellite-derived sea-surface temperatures are summarized. Future developments are also briefly discussed.
