Abstract

Monthly mean Sea Surface Temperature (SST) maps derived from approximately 14.200 NOAA-AVHRR scenes for the period 1990–1998 were used to discuss seasonal and interannual climatic variations in the Baltic Sea in relation to air temperature and to solar radiation. In a validation analysis the comparison between SST data and time series as well as climatological in-situ temperatures showed very good correlations. The applicability of the meteorological parameters measured at the German coast is limited to the western and central Baltic Sea due to meteorological scales.
