ABSTRACT

A 1-yr-long series of Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer sea surface temperature (SST) images is used to study the SST distribution in 1992 over the Channel of Sicily. Time- and spatial scales of the SST are studied by estimating the SST autocorrelation function directly from satellite images. SST timescales vary from I week to 45 days, with lower values in areas of intense upwelling. Spatial scales of the SST show seasonal variations with values from 80 to 300 km, with higher values during the summer. Oscillations with periods from I 1 to 35 days modulate the annual ...
