Abstract

A procedure is derived for obtaining improved estimates of water surfacetemperature by means of spatially scanning space-borne systems which would perform simultaneous radiometric measurements in two wavelength intervals in the thermal infrared atmospheric-window spectral regions. The procedure should reduce errors in the estimate of water surface temperature caused by haze and water vapor effects from approximately [plus-or-minus sign]2.0[deg]C to approximately [plus-or-minus sign]0.15[deg]C.
