Abstract
Aircraft measurements of the S-band sea surface brightness temperature at nadir as a function of wind speed and wind direction were carried out in various regions in 1985-1989. Data set of 65 circular flights was analyzed. It is shown that for water temperature recovering the wind direction is to be taken into account
