This paper presents the conception and the metrological characterization of a
new surface drifting buoy, designed to comply with the requirements of satellite
sea-surface temperature (SST) measurement validation and to link, per comparison,
these measurements to the SI. The reliability of this comparison is ensured by a
High Resolution Sea-Surface Temperature (HRSST) sensor associated with a pressure
sensor in a module called MoSens. This module can be calibrated in a laboratory to
ensure traceability to the SI with an expanded uncertainty inferior to 0.01◦C. This paper
estimates the response time of the HRSST sensor based on theoretical considerations
and compares the results with measurements carried out in a calibration bath. Once
integrated in a number of buoys, the resulting network will contribute to create a fiducial
reference measurement (FRM) network. The pressure sensor can be used as an indicator
of the sea-state, which is important to consider in order to underst.....
