This RAPID project is to develop IRISS (InfraRed In situ Skin and Subskin), an innovative infrared-based sensor system to measure skin and sub-skin sea surface temperatures from ships, Unmanned Surface Vehicles (USV), and buoys. Two cruises of opportunity will be used to validate this approach against other air-sea interaction measurements for a proof of concept. This unique system could be transformative because it has the potential to greatly increase the number and coverage of skin and subskin temperature measurements, which will enhance satellite validation, since these quantities correspond to the IR and microwave retrievals of sea surface temperatures, respectively. IRISS will also provide the first routine measurements of SSTsubskin. The resulting improvements to models for the cool skin and near surface temperature stratification will enhance topical oceanographic research, address current operational priorities, and improve satellite SST.A significant strength of this approach is that SSTskin and SSTsubskin will be measured simultaneously with the same sensor. Furthermore, the system will provide the first radiometric measurement of SSTsubskin, which should be a more accurate representation than can be obtained by contact measurements. The availability of accurate skin and subskin temperature from USVs and buoy will provide new data with which to improve models for near-surface stratification. The team will participate in in two cruises of opportunity to validate the method and demonstrate that this new measurement technique can significantly improve models for the cool skin and warm layer effect. The cruises are the NSF-funded Breaking Bubbles (BB) on the R/V Sikuliaq in Dec 2019 and the NOAA-funded Atomic on the R/V Brown in Jan 2020.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该RAPID项目旨在开发IRISS（红细胞原位皮肤和皮下），这是一种创新的基于红外线的传感器系统，用于测量船舶，无人水面车辆（USV）和浮标的皮肤和皮下海面温度。两次机会巡航将用于验证这一方法与其他海气相互作用测量的概念证明。这一独特的系统可能具有变革性，因为它有可能大大增加皮肤和皮下温度测量的数量和覆盖范围，这将加强卫星验证，因为这些量分别对应于海面温度的红外和微波反演。IRISS还将提供SST皮下组织的首次常规测量。对冷表层和近表层温度分层模型的改进将加强局部海洋学研究，解决当前业务优先事项，并改善卫星SST。这种方法的一个显著优点是SST皮肤和SST皮下将同时测量同一传感器。此外，该系统将提供SST皮下的第一次辐射测量，这应该是一个比接触测量更准确的表示。从USV和浮标获得的精确的皮肤和皮下温度的可用性将提供新的数据，以改进近表面分层模型。该团队将参与两次机会巡航，以验证该方法，并证明这种新的测量技术可以显着改善冷皮肤和暖层效应的模型。这些巡航是NSF资助的2019年12月在R/V Sikuliaq上的Breaking Bubbles（BB）和NOAA资助的2020年1月在R/V Brown上的Atomic。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估而被认为值得支持。
