Title
Accuracy improvement in an infrared satellite skin sea surface temperature product
Abstract
Infra red skin-based sea surface temperature (SST) products offer the potential for improved accuracy over traditional bulk products since the satellite measurements are more directly related to the skin temperature. Skin and bulk SST regression algorithms derived from coincident in situ observations are directly compared to evaluate the change in accuracy. While the skin-based product shows better accuracy in some cases, the improvement is not uniform. Physical variability of the skin layer and measurement challenges impact the change in accuracy. Nonetheless, the resulting skin SST products exhibit improved accuracy over existing operational products.
