Saildrones – Measurement of Sea Surface Temperature

HEITRONICS Infrared Radiation Thermometers (also known as Infrared Radiometers or Infrared Pyrometers) have been successfully applied within the Worldwide Atmospheric & Ocean Sciences communities for decades.

The authors of the following article provide an intensive review and analysis of the data cited.
