Theory and validation of the multiple window sea surface temperature technique
Abstract
The development of the “split window” approach for correcting satellite measurement of radiance for atmospheric attenuation is reviewed. Then the theoretical results are compared to results from actual measurements which consist of satellite measurements in the three infrared windows of the AVHRR. Ground truth for the comparisons comes from buoys. The satellite measurements were screened for clouds, and the remaining ones were used in the analysis. Using this data set, several statistical analyses were performed. These showed that, when the two channels that are truly a split window are used, the result of the statistical model agrees with the one derived from theoretical considerations. When the 3.8‐μm channel is combined with one in the 10–12 μm region, the result of the statistical model does not take the split window form. Results show that the method is capable of producing sea surface temperatures with a standard deviation of 1 K or less.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
