Abstract:
This Paper Investigates and estimates the variations of sea surface salinity (SSS) in the Persian Gulf using moderate resolution imaging spectro-radiometer (MODIS) data on the Aqua satellite and the advanced microwave sounding Unit-B (AMSU-B) sensor on the NOAA-16 satellite in order to use remote sensing science for a more efficient and with more time distribution of salinity in the Persian Gulf. In this research a multiple-linear regression model in R software was developed using the data of MODIS and AMSU-B sensors. The data were obtained during a period of one year and fed to the R software. After processing the data in the R software, the correlation coefficient (R2) for salinity was calculated between field data and MODIS and AMSU-B sensors data. The correlation coefficients for MODIS and AMSU-B sensors were 0.86 and 0.85, respectively. Also, root mean square error (RMSE) between satellite data and in Situ data for salinity using MODIS and AMSU-B sensors were 0.62 Psu and 0.07 Psu respectively. The results show the accuracy of sensors for determining the sea surface salinity pattern in this study.
