  • Abstract
    The Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer for EOS (AMSR-E) aboard the Advanced Earth Orbiting Satellite-II (ADEOS-II) and AMSR-E aboard the AQUA have an ability to observe sea surface temperature (SST) through clouds. An accuracy of observed SST is 0.64 C estimated by comparing with oceanic buoy´s SST. Spatial resolution of two AMSRs´ SST is about 50 km, which is determined by AMSR´s antenna diameter.
