چکیده

A novel physics-based method for determination of sea surface temperature (SST) from AVHRR is explained in detail. Starting from the equation of radiative transfer in the mean value approximation, we use variational calculus to derive an expression relating the difference between the radiance calculated using a first guess atmospheric profile and the observed satellite radiance (∆I), to the corresponding changes in atmospheric temperature (∆T ) and water vapour (∆u). By requiring the same SST to be predicted in channels 4 and 5, while keeping ∆I = 0, we estimate the SST.

Capabilities of data assimilation in correcting sea surface temperature in the Persian Gulf

Predicting the quality of water and air is a particular challenge for forecasting systems that support them. In order to represent the small-scale phenomena, a high-resolution model needs accurate capture of air and sea circulations, significant for forecasting environmental pollution. Data assimilation is one of the state of the art methods to be used for this purpose. Due to the importance of...
