dc.description.abstract	Data from selected orbits of the NOAA-7 meteorological satellite are used for an exploratory analysis
dc.description.abstract	of the surface variability in the area of the Aegean Sea using the STARS software system. The data
dc.description.abstract	suggest that a patch of cooler water (<22 deg C in summer) in the north-west Aegean is due to mixing
dc.description.abstract	in the Dardanelles. Another cool patch in the Gulf of Corinth may be due to wind-induced upwelling
dc.description.abstract	and tidal-induced mixing. Excellent correlation is found between albedo (here a measure of surface
dc.description.abstract	roughness) and surface temperature, with low albedo associated with high temperature; the relative
dc.description.abstract	patterns are displaced spatially depending upon the topography of the adjacent shoreline
