Description:
The scanning multichannel microwave radiometer results for the Gulf of Alaska Seasat Experiment Workshop are quite encouraging, especially in view of the immaturity of the data-processing algorithms. For open ocean, rain-free cells of highest-quality surface truth wind determinations exhibit standard deviations of 3 meters per second about a bias of 1.5 meters per second. The sea-surface temperature shows a standard deviation of approximately 1.5 degrees C about a bias of 3 degrees to 5 degrees C under a variety of changing meteorological conditions.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Lipes, R G -- Bernstein, R L -- Cardone, V J -- Katsaros, K B -- Njoku, E G -- Riley, A L -- Ross, D B -- Swift, C T -- Wentz, F J -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1979 Jun 29;204(4400):1415-7.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17814200" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
