2nd GHRSST Short Course on SST: Key SST Retrieval Concepts

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 Key SST Retrieval Concepts session outlines:

• Cloud screening 
• Multi-channel atmospheric correction algorithms 
• SST retrieval using radiative transfer simulations
