Investigation of the oceanic cloudiness according to the data of satellite observations in the spectral range 10.3–11.3 μm
The temperature of waters in the upper layer of the ocean and effective cloudiness (cloudiness with simultaneous indication of its amount and optical density) are important characteristics of the natural envir...

Methods for processing the data of wind-profile observations over the ocean
We describe the in-line methods for processing the results of observations of the vertical distribution of wind speed with an aim of evaluation of the parameters characterizing the stable state of the surface ...

Climatic satellite monitoring of the external heat balance of the oceans and Black Sea
The long-wave outgoing radiation, effective cloudiness equal to the product of the total cloud amount by their optical density, and the sea-surface temperature determined from the satellites are used to determ...

Determination of temperature and humidity of air, wind speed, and sensible and latent heat fluxes on the ocean surface according to the satellite data
Formulas for the evaluation of temperature and humidity of air, wind speed, and sensible and latent heat fluxes on the ocean surface according to the satellite data on the sea-surface temperature and cloudines...

Greenhouse effect of the atmosphere and its influence on Earth’s climate (satellite data)
On the basis of the radiation-cloudiness model and the available long-term satellite data, we study the correlations of the greenhouse effect with the surface temperature of air and effective cloudiness equal ...

Radiation Energetics of the Ocean–Atmosphere System and the Earth Derived from Satellite Data
Within the framework of a correct model, by using long-term satellite information, we study the relations “radiation–cloudiness,” which are the most important characteristics of energy redistribution between t...

Albedo of clouds and radiation conditions in the oceans
On the basis of the satellite and ship data of many-year observations, we parametrize the albedo of the ocean-atmosphere system both for the conditions of “fair weather” and for the maximum and climatic optica...

Relationship between the radiation budget components of the ocean-atmosphere system
A formula for the relationship between the spectrum-integrated flux of outgoing long-wave radiation,F cn, and the albedo,A cn, of an ice-free sea surface-atmosphere system has been derived using historical (1974–...

Satellite monitoring of the sea surface temperature using the NOAA satellite data
A method of obtaining the operative sea surface temperature (SST)t using satellite scanner observations in the spectral ranges 3.53–3.94 μm and 10.3–11.3 μm is realized. The method represents a combination of McC...

Experimental study of the angular method for the determination of the sea surface temperature from space in the 8–12 μm window
The structure of the field of outgoing into space radiation for the 8–12 μm spectral interval is studied using the data of satellite observations of the oceans. The regularity found is employed to substantiate...
