Thermal calibration of satellite infrared images and correlation with sea-surface nutrient distribution.

Satellite infrared imagery off the California coast, near Pt. Sur, show thermal patterns associated with an upwelling center; the patterns frequently curl cyclonically when inter- acting with the warmer California Current. This pattern shows sharp thermal fronts, easily identified in satellite IR im...
