Air-Sea Interaction, Remote Sensing
Dr. Jessup conducts basic research in the application of infrared (IR) remote sensing to study air-sea interaction. His research program combines field and laboratory experimentation with modeling based on observation. The primary instruments used are IR imagers and narrow field-of-view IR radiation thermometers (radiometers). The two main research topics currently being investigated are applications of infrared imagery to study wave breaking (large-scale and microscale) and the in situ measurements of sea surface temperature (SST) using radiometers for validation of satellite data.
