Space Congress® Proceedings

A thorough knowledge of the distribution of sea surface temperature over large areas is important in the geophysical and marine sciences. This enables one to understand certain atmospheric and oceanic processes, in the detection and monitoring of ocean currents, upwelling zones and other circulation systems. Unfortunately, a true and complete picture of the sea surface temperature distribution has not been available due to observational difficulties. Sea surface temperature charts that are available now are based on commercial ship reports and on data from research cruises. Comprehensive survey of this feature by means of sensors carried in aircraft, ships or any …
