Abstract

In the paper, an algorithm is presented for constructing global ocean–atmosphere radiothermal fields with high spatiotemporal sampling by satellite microwave measurements. Attention is focused on the construction of the daily reference images of high spatial resolution. The construction of such reference maps is an important preparatory step for the further application of the earlier proposed and implemented technique of the authors of spatiotemporal interpolation. The software, which implements the described algorithm, makes it possible to obtain global animated radiothermal fields with a time step of 1.5 h and spatial resolution of 0.2°. These parameters are essential for an analysis of complex, fast, and energy-intensive processes occurring in the ocean–atmosphere system, such as the formation and evolution of tropical cyclones.
