Abstract :
High resolution (100 m), sequential multispectral atmospheric mapping sensor (MAMS) images were used to calculate sea surface velocities from the advection of visible and thermal surface features using maximum cross correlation (MCC) and subjective techniques. The visible gradient image velocities agreed well with the subjective motion, while the infrared channel performed best without computing gradients
