| Abstract: | The Ocean Color and Temperature Scanner (OCTS) aboard the Advanced Earth Observing Satellite (ADEOS) can observe ocean color
and sea surface temperature (SST) simultaneously. This paper explains the algorithm for the OCTS SST product in the NASDA
OCTS mission. In the development of the latest, third version (V3) algorithm, the OCTS match-up dataset plays an important
role, especially when the coefficients required in the MCSST equation are derived and the equation form is adjusted. As a
result of the validation using the OCTS match-up dataset, the algorithm has improved the root mean square (rms) error of the
OCTS SST up to 0.698°C although some problems remain in the match-up dataset used in the present study. |
