Sea surface temperature (SST) is an essential variable for numerical weather prediction and global climate modeling. Sea surface skin temperature (SSTskin) measurements are required for the validation of satellite SST products. Several radiometers for in situ SSTskin measurements have been developed. The infrared SST autonomous radiometer (ISAR) is a self-calibrating instrument with an accuracy of...
The HY-2 (Haiyang-2) satellite was launched in August 2011. The scanning microwave radiometer (RM) onboard HY-2 has low frequency channels with the capability for sea surface temperature (SST) observations from space. The HY-2 RM L2A SST products are evaluated. The L2A products are compared with WindSat, AMSR2 SST products and in situ SST measurements by buoy. The results indicate a standard deviation...
The Haiyang (HY) series satellites operated by the National Ocean Satellite Application Center (NSOAS) of the State Oceanic Administration (SOA) of China were designed with the capability for Sea Surface temperature (SST) observations from space. The HY-1A was launched in May 2002 and HY-1B was launched in April 2007. The Chinese Ocean Color and Temperature Scanner (COCTS) onboard HY-1 series satellites...
FENGYUN-3A (FY-3A) is the second generation polar-orbiting meteorological satellite of China which was launched on May, 7, 2008. The Visible infrared scanning radiometer (VIRR) onboard FY-3A has 10 1-km resolution channels, with infrared split-window channels for sea surface temperature (SST) observations. FY-3A VIRR SST products are distributed by the National satellite Meteorological Center (NSMC),...
Sea Surface temperature (SST) is an essential indicator for climate change. Nowadays there are a number of sensors in orbit with the capacity of SST observations, including mid and thermal infrared as well as microwave observations from space. High accuracy and stability for satellite SST products are required for long-term climate data record of global SST. It is important to properly collect in...
Sea Surface Temperature (SST) products have been available from a number of operational and experimental satellites for more than thirty years. These SST products have been evaluated in the global as well as regional areas. In China, the meteorological satellites, Fengyun (FY) series and oceanic satellites, Haiyang (HY) series, have been designed with infrared or microwave channels for SST observations...
