On the calculation of particle trajectories from sea surface current measurements and their use in satellite sea surface products off the Central California Coast

This thesis explores the possibility and feasibility of improving existing satellite measurements of sea surface temperature (SST) by the incorporation of high- frequency (HF) radar-derived surface current data. Water parcels tagged with SST are advected using particle trajectories calculated by in...
