Remote sensing of the Chesapeake Bay plume salinity via microwave radiometryThe NASA-Langley-developed L-Band microwave radiometer was used to remotely measure sea surface salinity during the Chesapeake Bay plume studies. Obtained measurements of microwave brightness temperatures of the sea surface were combined with measurements of sea surface temperature obtained with an infrared radiometer and inverted to produce corresponding values of sea surface salinity. Results from the plume measurements, which indicate the southward extent of the plume along the Virginia-North Carolina coast, are presented and discussed. Additional measurements obtained for the Delaware Bay Mouth flight, and the James River-Shelf flight, are also discussed.
