| Abstract: | Since February 1989 measurements from MOS-1 could be received at Syowa Station in Antarctica. The first set of MOS-1 visible and thermal infrared (VTIR) recordings from Syowa Station is analysed in this study. A method developed by Schüssel and Grassl is applied for ice and cloud filtering. For clear ocean pixels the sea surface temperatures are estimated by applying Muneyama's split window algorithm. A sea surface temperature composite of ten VTIR passes is presented. |
