Instrument

ROSR
Remote Ocean Surface Radiometer

The Remote Ocean Surface Radiometer (ROSR) is a shipborne infrared radiometer developed by the Remote Measurements and Research Company. It provides measurements of sea surface skin temperature using a pitch-roll sensor. ROSR can provide continuous observations from a ship or buoy autonomously for around 6 months. It completes a measurement cycle in 285 seconds and has an accuracy of 0.1 K.
