Abstract
In order to provide SST images, the sensor MODIS installed on Aqua Satellite EOS-1 was used. Applying lighting assessment out of images from Modis 21-Level 1B Calibrated Radiances -1km in Persian Gulf and the Bushehr sea station (Bouyeh) from global algorithm specified for above sensor was used to estimate the sea surface temperature. With function of Matlab software to extract data of satellite images, and GIS software to convert the matris obtained, the maps of sea surface temperature were used. Forty eight images taken in 2008, 2009, 2012, and 2013 were selected. Their correlation coefficient eventually was 0.75, 0.86, and 0.75 respectively. Likewise the special coefficient obtained as 0.86, 0.90, 0.94 and 0.86 respectively. Finally, taking the 31 band temperature into consideration for the years 2008, 2009, 2012 and temperature differences of bands 31 and 32 and the sensor angle as independent factors were used at Bouyeh temperature as an affiliated factor calibrated by SPSS software for global algorithm of Persian Gulf. In order to check the correctness the algorithm suggested, the sea surface temperature was re-examined with satellite images of the year 2013; the correlation coefficient 0.96 and 0.94 were obtained. The searching has shown that the depth with current sea and latitude have effect on sea surface temperature, and temperature balance specially in north and central latitude have contrary relation with depth.
