Techniques for Infrared Survey of Sea Temperature.

Abstract

The Workshop on Techniques for Infrared Survey of Sea Temperature was held to evaluate the state of the art of measuring sea surface temperatures with infrared detecting equipment. The simplest form of detector, the infrared thermometer (IRT), is calibrated to give direct read-out of surface temperature. Because this instrument is now a stock item and relatively inexpensive, there has been a rapid increase in its use in oceanographic and limnological survey. An opportunity to exchange information on techniques and interpretation of readings appeared to be needed because there was little information in print with which to evaluate the usefulness of IRT survey.
