Abstract :
In this paper, we discuss about the evaluation of Tropical Mean (TM) value using tropical ocean measurements performed by the CERES instruments. It also discusses the comparison of the TM value derived from Terra and Aqua instruments measurements with respect to other to EBRE and CERES instruments.
