A procedure for estimation of sea-surface temperature from remote measurements in the 10 - 13 micrometers spectral region

The feasibility is demonstrated of a procedure for the remote measurement of sea-surface temperature which inherently corrects for the effect of the intervening atmosphere without recourse to climatological data. The procedure relies upon the near-linear differential absorption properties of the infrared window region between 10 and 13 micrometers and requires radiometric measurements in a minimum of two spectral intervals within the infrared window which have a significant difference in absorption coefficient. The procedure was applied to Nimbus 4 infrared interferometer spectrometer (IRIS) data and to Skylab EREP S191 spectrometer data, and it is demonstrated that atmospheric effects on the observed brightness temperature can be reduced to less than 1.0 Kelvin
