Sea surface temperature in the East China Sea
GLI sea surface temperature is derived using channels 34 (8.6um), 35 (10.8um), 36 (12um). Unlike microwave, infrared information from the sea surface is often obscured by clouds. However, it gives us more details of the thermal structures (e.g., sharp temperature front in the west of Taiwan).
