A Study of the Quality of Sea Water Temperatures Reported in Logs of Ships' Weather Observations

摘要: Abstract The differences between sea water temperature reported in the Log of Ship's Weather Observations and specially observed surface were studied for 6826 pairs observations taken Pacific Ocean from 3 Military Sea Transport Service ships 9 U.S. Navy Radar Picket during 92 different trips. For each trip mean difference (trip bias), using reference, standard deviation computed. These results combined to give similar measures ship (ship bias deviation) estimates these a large number (fleet). Reported (injection) vary considerably quality. fleet bias, or difference, injection as compared is estimated be 1.2±0.6F he 1.6F. Among 12 ships, all differenc...
