Observations of the infrared radiative properties of the ocean-implications for the measurement of sea surface temperature via satellite remote sensing
The Atmospheric Emitted Radiance Interferometer (AERI) was used to measure the infrared radiative properties and the temperature of the Gulf of Mexico during a 5-day oceanographic cruise in January 1995. The ocean skin temperature was measured with an accuracy believed to be better than 0.1°C. The surface reflectivity/emissivity was determined as a function of view angle and sea state.
