IMPROVING SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURE IN A REGIONAL OCEAN MODEL THROUGH REFINED SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURE ASSIMILATION

Improving sea surface temperature in a regional ocean model through refined sea surface temperature assimilation

Infrared (IR) and passive microwave (PMW) satellite sea surface temperature (SST) retrievals are valuable to assimilate into high-resolution regional ocean forecast models.Still, there are issues related to these SSTs that need to be addressed to achieve improved ocean forecasts.Firstly, satellite SST products tend to be biased.Assimilating SSTs fr
