Sea surface temperature (SST) is an Essential Ocean Variable (EOV) and Essential Climate Variable (ECV) strongly influencing fluxes of energy, momentum and mass through the air-sea interface. An accurate representation of the SST conditions at the interface is necessary when estimating air-sea fluxes from bulk parametrizations. These conditions at the air-sea interface are best represented by the skin temperature. However, in-situ bulk SST, typically measured at several meters deep and representing sub-surface conditions, are often used in flux calculations given the challenges associated with skin temperature measurements. Large differences between bulk SST and skin temperature due to cool skin effect and daytime stratification, are recognized to be sources of uncertainty in the calculated fluxes. The efforts to make automated measurements of the skin temperature from vessels are examples of how to increase access to this type of observation and increase their availability over the global ocean. Uncertainties in skin temperature measurements could be reduced through development and adoption of community recommended practices. Development of recommended practices for in-situ skin temperature measurements is a high priority for OASIS as a means towards higher quality air-sea interaction measurements. In this session, OASIS invites the community to an open discussion aiming to identify knowledge gaps, technical limitations and priority needs for improved skin temperature measurements. We look forward to engage with key players, including scientists , industrial partners, technicians and users, towards the development of recommended practices towards more reliable and widely available skin temperature measurements.
