Questions and Answers

What is the main challenge in extracting information about sea-surface temperature?

  • Defining what we mean by 'surface' (correct)
  • Ensuring clarity in climate monitoring
  • Measuring the ocean's complex thermal structure
  • Formalising temperature measurements

    • Why is accurate measurement of sea-surface temperature essential for climate monitoring?

  • To assess the influence of ocean momentum
  • To aid in climate change predictions (correct)
  • To monitor air-sea fluxes of heat and moisture
  • To understand the impact of ocean turbulence

    • What is the relationship between highly stable sensors and accurate measurement of sea-surface temperature?

  • Highly stable sensors are essential for climate monitoring
  • Highly stable sensors ensure precise measurement of ocean turbulence
  • Highly stable sensors help in formalising temperature measurements
  • Highly stable sensors are necessary for accurate measurement of SST (correct)
