COMPARISON OF ATSR-1 AND ATSR-2 SSTs DURING 1995 AND ANALYSES OF ATSR-2 SSTs FROM 1995 TO 2000

摘要

Reprocessing of the second Along Track Scanning Radiometer (ATSR-2) Clear-Sea Consolidated Averaged Brightness Temperature (CSCABT) dataset to high quality, high spatial resolution Sea Surface Temperatures (SSTs) from the 2nd ATSR upon the ERS-2 satellite have been completed for the period June 1995 to December 2000. Validation results of these ATSR-2 SSTs against in-situ SST observations and climate SST analyses are presented with additional results from a comparison of ATSR-1 and ATSR-2 SSTs from June -December 1995.
