Questions and Answers

What is a key aspect of the dataset mentioned in the text?

  • It is the cumulative outcome of more than a decade of methodological development (correct)
  • It is based solely on empirical tuning of in situ measurements
  • It consists of raw sensor calibrations
  • It is primarily focused on cloud screening imagery

What is the nature of the satellite datasets used in this work?

  • Consist of the entire v3/v2.1 level-1b archi
  • Summarized in Table 1 (correct)
  • Primarily focused on AVHRR GAC data
  • Inversion of TIR radiances to SST independently of in situ measurements

What is the purpose of assembling the most complete possible collection of AVHRR GAC data?

  • To estimate total SST uncertainty
  • To minimize the aliasing of daily SST cycles into long-term trends
  • For the purpose of the project (correct)
  • To harmonize sensor calibrations
