Analysis of the role of the ocean and the atmosphere in their thermal interaction based on satellite and research vessel data in the Newfoundland zone, North Atlantic

A study investigated the role of the ocean and the atmosphere in their thermal interaction based on satellite and research vessel data in the Newfoundland zone, North Atlantic. Lags in the response of the OAS brightness temperature to the variations in the thermal fluxes in the system caused by the horizontal atmospheric motions in the Newfoundland EAZ of the North Atlantic testify to the important role of the atmosphere in the interaction with the oceanic surface (as a physical substance) and of the atmospheric brightness temperature (as a quantitative indicator of this interaction).
