Abstract

Simultaneous measurements of sea surface temperature (SST) by infrared and microwave sensors on single satellites are compared. The sensors are Global Imager (GLI) and Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer (AMSR) aboard Advanced Earth Observing Satellite-II (ADEOS-II), and Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) and AMSR for Earth Observing System (AMSR-E) aboard Aqua. The characteristics of SST differences are discussed with regard to the spatial distribution and water vapor amount in atmosphere.
