Abstract

This work describes the PAU-IR instrument, an infrared radiometer used to estimate the sea surface temperature for sea surface salinity retrievals. The results of numerical simulations to predict the impact of different effects (rain, clouds, visibility) is presented with the theory to accurately retrieve the sea surface temperature. Finally, the results of a field experiment carried out 40 km South of Barcelona are presented.
