The Validation of Sea Surface Temperature Retrievals from Spaceborne Infrared Radiometers

摘要

There are uncertainties associated with all measurements, and the magnitude of the uncertainties imposes restrictions on how the measurements should be applied or interpreted. The uncertainties can result from a variety of causes that relate to the nature of the variable being measured, and how the measurements are being made. Furthermore the techniques employed to assess the magnitude and characteristics of the uncertainties are also prone to error.
