The Multiscale Observing System of the Ocean Surface (MOSES) is an airborne infrared camera system developed by the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) and the French Institute for Ocean Science (IFREMER). It provides longwave infrared (9-12.5 μm) imagery at a measurement sampling rate of 2 Hz, which can be used to determine sea surface temperature. MOSES has a resolution of 10 m and a swath width of 5.4 km for an altitude of 28,000 ft. It has a measurement accuracy of 0.1 K.
