Satellite data reveals a strong link between sea surface temperature, air temperature, and water vapor. This climate change monitoring shows a warming and moistening marine atmosphere from 1987-1998.

Area of Science:

  • Earth Science
  • Climate Science
  • Atmospheric Science

Background:

  • Earth-orbiting satellites provide crucial climate change data.
  • Key datasets include Microwave Sounding Unit (MSU) air temperatures (since 1979), Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) sea surface temperatures (since 1982), and Special Sensor Microwave Imager (SSM/I) water vapor (since 1987).

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare satellite-derived climate data sets.
  • To analyze interannual and decadal climate variations.

Main Methods:

  • Comparison of MSU, AVHRR, and SSM/I time series data.
  • Focus on oceanic regions for analysis.

Main Results:

  • Strong association found between sea surface temperature, lower-tropospheric air temperature, and total column water vapor.

  • Observed support for a constant relative humidity model with a moist adiabatic lapse rate.
  • Decadal analysis (1987-1998) indicates a consistent warming and moistening trend in the marine atmosphere.

    • Conclusions:

    • Satellite observations confirm interconnected climate variables in the marine atmosphere.
    • The findings support established atmospheric models.
    • A clear warming and moistening trend was identified in the marine atmosphere over a decade.
