Abstract :
Sea surface temperature (SST) is one of the most important variables related to the global ocean-atmosphere system. Satellite-derived SSTs, which can provide long-term high-resolution quality controlled SST products, still need to be validated to confirm these SST data generated from the remote sensors can be used as believed for the further study. In this paper, the weekly 4 km resolution AVHRR SST and MODIS SST, the daily 25 km resolution AMSR-E SST data are chosen as the Satellite-derived SST products, the TAO 1 m depth data and drift buoy SST data are chosen as the in-situ SST data. Then we compare Satellite-derived SST data with in-situ measurements and get the results of the validation.
