REMOTE OCEAN SURFACE RADIOMETER (ROSR)
Continuous Shipboard Seasurface Skin Temperature

The Remote Ocean Surface Radiometer (ROSR) is a next generation sea surface radiometer.

• Weatherproof design with weather flap (shutter) closure. (See scan cross section.)
• Concentration on simplicity reliability.
• Modular design.
• Open source, Arduino Mega microprocessor.
• C source code. Code is available to the user.
• On-board computation of sea surface skin temperature. Three minutes between SSST outputs.
• Output RS232, 9600 bps (TCP/IP Telnet optional).
• Improved maintenance. Built-in laser alignment. Single bolt to remove covers. On-line parts.
