Sensitive study of the climatological SST by using ATSR global SST data sets

Conference ·
OSTI ID:395076
Climatological sea surface temperature (SST) is an initial step for global climate processing monitoring. A comparison has been made by using Oberhuber`s SST data set and two years monthly averaged SST from ATSR thermal band data to force the OGCM. In the eastern Pacific ocean, these make only a small difference to model SST. In the western Pacific ocean, the use of Oberhuber`s data set gives higher climatological SST than that using ATSR data. The SSTs were also simulated for 1992 using climatological SSTs from two years monthly averaged ATSR data and Oberhuber data. The forcing with SST from ATSR data was found to give better SST simulation than that from Oberhuber`s data. The study has confirmed that ATSR can provide accurate monthly averaged global SST for global climate processing monitoring.
