Three way validation of MODIS and AMSR-E sea surface temperatures
The estimation of retrieval uncertainty and stability are essential for the accurate interpretation of data in scientific research, use in analyses, or numerical models. The primary uncertainty sources of satellite SST retrievals are due to errors in spacecraft navigation, sensor calibration, sensor noise, retrieval algorithms, and incomplete identification of corrupted retrievals. In this stud...
متن کاملRadiative Feedback Signatures in AMSR - E Sea Surface Temperatures Versus
Radiative feedbacks in the climate system are the primary uncertainty affecting estimates of anthropogenic global warming and climate change (Knutti & Hergerl, 2008; IPCC, 2007). While the feedbacks of most interest are on the long time scales associated with anthropogenic greenhouse gas forcing – decadal or longer – our most accurate satellite measurements of global radiative fluxes are closer...
متن کاملOptimal Estimation of Sea Surface Temperature from AMSR-E
The Optimal Estimation (OE) technique is developed within the European Space Agency Climate Change Initiative (ESA-CCI) to retrieve subskin Sea Surface Temperature (SST) from AQUA’s Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer—Earth Observing System (AMSR-E). A comprehensive matchup database with drifting buoy observations is used to develop and test the OE setup. It is shown that it is essential to ...
متن کاملAn assessment of sea ice thickness calculated from AMSR-E and MODIS for operational data assimilation
In this paper, sea ice thickness values are calculated for a region along the east coast of Canada using data from two sensors representative of those available for operational data assimilation. Data from the first sensor, the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS), is used to calculate the ice thickness using a heat balance equation. Relationships between the MODIS ice thicknes...
متن کاملComparison between AMSR-E ASI sea-ice concentration product, MODIS and pseudo-ship observations of the Antarctic sea-ice edge
The performance of passive microwave sea-ice concentration products in the marginal ice zone and at the ice edge draws much attention in accuracy assessments. In this study, we generated 917 pseudo-ship observations from four Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) images based on the Antarctic Sea Ice Processes and Climate (ASPeCt) protocol to assess the quality of the Advanced M...
