Abstract

Abstract Abstract. By combining the brightness temperatures by NOAA-9/AVHRR and the sea surface temperature by Mutsu Bay automatic marine monitoring buoy system, the total number of 390 match-ups was set up. The temporal and spatial coincidence in each match-up is within 30 minutes and one pixel resolution. Following to the split-window method, a regression function for the sea surface temperature estimation was calculated and its standard deviation of estimation errors was 0-59°C. The residues were carefully examined with respect to the sensor calibration data and the meteorological data at match-up collections. Then it was found that large errors appeared when differences between the air temperature and the buoy temperature were large. Those were estimated to be caused by the air-sea interacting effects. By removing the match-ups with larger errors, a selected data set with 334 match-ups was prepared and the SST estimation function was recalculated. The standard deviation of errors reduced to 0-34 °C.
