Blended Analysis for Sea Surface Temperature
نویسندگان
چکیده
The purpose of this paper is to focus on improvements to the climate-scale SST analyses produced at NOAA as described by Reynolds and Smith (1994) and Reynolds et al. (2002). This analysis uses infrared (IR) satellite data from the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) and in situ data from ships and buoys. The analysis is done by optimum interpolation (OI) with a separate step to correct any large scale satellite biases relative to the in situ data. The analysis is performed weekly on a 1 spatial grid from November 1981 to present. This version of the OI will henceforth be referred to as the OI version 2 (OI.v2)

Effect of sea surface temperature (SST) changes on coral ecosystems in Kish Island
Background and Theoretical Foundations: Coral reefs are one of the world's most attractive ecosystems. They have been covering large parts of the world in the tropic areas. Coral reefs in the Iranian waters of the Persian Gulf are largely limited to the Islands. Many factors, including natural and anthropogenic activities cause stress to the reef communities affecting reef development. Coral bl...
متن کاملInvestigation of Long Term Trend of Spatio-Temporal changes of Sea Surface Temperature in Oman Sea
Considering the vast application of sea surface temperature in climatic and oceanic investigations, this parameter was studied in Oman Sea from 1986 to 2015. The SST was surveyed using trend analysis and Global and local Moran’s I spatial autocorrelation. In trend analysis, the Mann-Kendall test was used to determine the trend of SST changes and the Sen's Estimator method was used to examine th...

In Marine discussions, the study of sea surface temperature (SST) and study of its spatial relationships with other ocean parameters are of particular importance, in such a way that the accurate recognition of the SST relationships with other parameters allows the study of many ocean and atmospheric processes. Therefore, in this study, spatial relations modeling of SST with Surface Wind Speed (...
