摘要:
A comparison is made betweenin situmeasurements of sea surface temperature (SST) in the north-east Atlantic Ocean, obtained during Cruise 145 of RRSDiscovery, and SSTs derived from several overpasses of the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer on the NOAA-7 satellite during the same period in March 1984. The objective of the analysis was to test the ability of the satellite to map the detailed features of SST structure and to examine the performance of atmospheric correction and temperature calibration procedures in this context. Gross comparison between all the cloud-free ship and satellite data confirms agreement normally within 1 degC. More detailed comparison of SST structure along the cruise tracks shows that the satellite data are able to identify features with a resolution of 0.3°C.
