Abstract

The difference between the true sea‐surface temperature and that inferred from satellite measurements of infrared radiances when viewing vertically through a cloud‐free atmosphere may be estimated to a useful accuracy for the 8–13μm radiometers of Defense Meteorological Satellite Program satellites. A simple parametric formula is developed that gives the difference to within ±0.6 K of that computed by a numerical method of solving the equation of radiative transfer. A comparison with data suggests that accuracies ⩽1.3K may be achieved relative to the actual value. Further work is necessary to confirm this accuracy because of an apparent discrepancy in the satellite data.

## Abstract Preliminary measurements of the temperature distribution in the topmost three metres of the open ocean have been made from an Ocean Weather Ship. The two profiles recorded are discussed in relation to the important problem of heat transfer near the sea surface.
