Abstract
A set of field measurements of thermal anomalies on the sea surface wa s carried out using an commercial infrared (IR) scanner (AGA 780 Therm ovision) installed in a Dornier aircraft. One simple calibration metho d for determining the atmospheric correction was developed. Thermovisi on data, sea surface temperature and air temperature collected at mult iple altitudes were used. The method is acceptable as long as there is direct optical visibility of the sea surface and if the atmosphere in the field of measurement is stationary during measurements.
