The US NRL (National Research Laboratory) has developed a STARRS (salinity, temperature, and roughness remote scanner ), a microwave radiometer system, for airborne remote sensing of the plata plume of SSS (sea surface salinities) and SST (sea surface temperatures) off the South American Atlantic Coast. STARRS includes L and C-band microwave radiometers, an IR (infrared) radiometer, an integrated GPS (global positioning system) receiver, and a fiber optic gyro. It measures the physical temperature and microwave brightness temperature of the sea surface to determine the emissivity. Its data processing system generates maps of SSS that can be used for satellite calibration. The in-flight computer creates instrument raw data files that generate files containing large data to retrieve SSS, SST, and surface roughness. STARRS also produces synoptic descriptions of SSS fields in continental shelf waters with 0.3 salinity units and detailed salinity maps of smaller coastal areas with 0.6 salinity units.
