Variations in Ocean Surface Temperature due to Near-Surface Flow: Straining the Cool Skin Layer
The aqueous thermal boundary layer near to the ocean surface, or skin layer, has thickness O(1 mm) and plays an important role in controlling the exchange of heat between the atmosphere and the ocean. Theoretical arguments and experimental measurements are used to investigate the dynamics of the skin layer under the influence of an upwelling flow, which is imposed in addition to free convection...
متن کاملMeasurements of Near-surface Ocean Temperature Variability – Consequences on the Validation of Aatsr on Envisat
The objective of in situ validation of satellite-derived sea-surface temperature (SST) fields is primarily to confirm the validity of the operations and algorithms used to retrieve the SSTs from the spacecraft radiometer measurements. In so doing, the limits of accuracy of the SST retrievals are established. The requirement to relate the satellite-derived SSTs to absolute temperature references...
متن کامل4.14 Finding the True Temperature of the Ocean Surface
The characteristics of the SST data will depend on how the measurements were made. Most of the SST measurements in the period 1970 to 1997 were made using either a bucket and thermometer or by reporting the temperature of the engine intake cooling water. A smaller number of reports were made using hull sensors which are thought to be more accurate. ICOADS contains a metadata flag giving the met...
متن کاملEvaluation of MODIS Land Surface Temperature Data to Estimate Near-Surface Air Temperature in Northeast China
Air temperature (Tair) near the ground surface is a fundamental descriptor of terrestrial environment conditions and one of the most widely used climatic variables in global change studies. The main objective of this study was to explore the possibility of retrieving high-resolution Tair from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) land surface temperature (LST) products, cove...
