2nd GHRSST Short Course on SST: Basic Concepts for Sea Surface Temperature

This training material is part of the 2nd GHRSST short course on SST, which took place at the Ocean University of China from 31 May to 2 June 2017. The short course consists of seven sessions with the overall objectives to: 

• To gain knowledge about GHRSST and what GHRSST provides
• To gain knowledge of IR radiative transfer, cloud masking and SST retrieval
• To apply the gained knowledge with real practical examples

The Basic Concepts for Sea Surface Temperature session outlines:

• Orbits and sampling 
• Sea-Surface Temperature
• Concepts in atmospheric radiation
