Sea Surface Salinity Variability in the Bering Sea in 2015–2020 [PDF]

Remote Sensing, 2022
Salinity in the Bering Sea is vital for the physical environment that is tied to the productive ecosystem and the properties of Pacific waters transported to the Arctic Ocean. Its salinity variability reflects many fundamental processes, including sea ice formation/melting and river runoff, but its spatial and temporal characteristics require better ...

Evaluation of sea surface salinity observed by Aquarius [PDF]

2012 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2012
Sea surface salinity data derived from Aquarius on the SAC-D satellite were compared with observations by Argo floats in the global oceans to evaluate the quality of the Aquarius salinity measurement and assess the error structure in the data. In tropical and mid latitudes, salinity observed by Aquarius agreed well the Argo data with an rms difference ...

Sea Surface Salinity Short Term Variability in the Tropics [PDF]

Ocean Science, 2021
Abstract. Using data from the Global Tropical Moored Buoy Array we study the validation process for satellite measurement of sea surface salinity (SSS). We compute short-term variability (STV) of SSS, variability on time scales of 5–14 days. It is meant to be a proxy for subfootprint variability as seen by a satellite measuring SSS.

Assessment and Improvement of Sea Surface Microwave Emission Models for Salinity Retrieval in the East China Sea

Remote Sensing, 2019
Accurate prediction of sea surface emission is the key for sea surface salinity retrieval from satellite microwave radiometer. In order to retrieve salinity from satellite observation, several sea surface microwave emission models have been developed ...

On the Factors Driving Upper-Ocean Salinity Variability at the Western Edge of the Eastern Pacific Fresh Pool [PDF]

Oceanography, 2019
The tropical Eastern Pacific Fresh Pool (EPFP) has some of the highest precipitation rates and lowest sea surface salinities found in the open ocean. In addition, the sea surface salinity in the EPFP exhibits one of the strongest annual cycles in the ...

Ocean temperature and salinity components of the Madden-Julian oscillation observed by Argo floats [PDF]

, 2010
New diagnostics of the Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO) cycle in ocean temperature and, for the first time, salinity are presented. The MJO composites are based on 4 years of gridded Argo float data from 2003 to 2006, and extend from the surface to 1,400 ...

Variability of Satellite Sea Surface Salinity Under Rainfall [PDF]

, 2020
Two L-Band (1.4 GHz) microwave radiometer missions, the Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS) and the Soil Moisture Active and Passive (SMAP) missions, currently provide salinity measurements in the first centimeter below the sea surface. At this depth, salinity variability at hourly temporal scales is dominated by the impact of precipitation.

Simulations of sea surface reflection for V-band O2 differential absorption radar barometry

Frontiers in Remote Sensing, 2023
This study simulates V-band sea surface reflectance and normalized radar cross-section (NRCS) for sea surface air pressure barometry using a differential absorption radar operating at three spectrally even spaced close frequency bands (65.5, 67.75 and 70.

Technical Note: Remote sensing of sea surface salinity using the propagation of low-frequency navigation signals [PDF]

Ocean Science, 2015
This paper introduces a potential method for the remote sensing of sea surface salinity (SSS) using the measured propagation delay of low-frequency Loran-C signals transmitted over an all-seawater path between the Sylt station in Germany and an ...
