We can observe various processes in the World Ocean which exert influence on the weather conditions and people life activity: there are exist and modify constantly power currents transporting a heat to the continents, the strong hurricanes are originating and propagating, the temperature anomalies and heat fluxes at the water-air boundary are arising regularly. These phenomena have mainly a heat nature and can be manifested themselves through the natural radiothermal (microwave) radiation observed by special means of remote sensing the Earth from space. Such areas of the World Ocean as the Gulf Stream, Newfoundland, Norwegian-Greenland energy active zones of the North Atlantic, as well as the Gulf of Mexico can serve as natural testing grounds for testing the possibilities of studying heat and dynamic processes at the interface of the ocean and atmosphere using satellite microwave radiometry. The significant brightness temperature contrasts regularly observed here are clearly recorded from space in the spectral absorption region of microwave radiation in atmospheric water vapor, which can serve as a kind of "radio visibility window" for analyzing from space such processes on the ocean surface and in the atmosphere as: • Heat and dynamic interaction between the ocean and the atmosphere; • Transformation of the characteristics of the ocean and atmosphere in the frontal regions; • Origin and spread of tropical hurricanes (in the range of synoptic time scales) • Seasonal and long-term variations in the intensity of heat and moisture exchange between the ocean and the atmosphere in energy-active zones; • Long-term variations in the intensity of the transfer of sensible and latent heat in the atmosphere in areas of ocean currents. (in the range of seasonal and interannual time scales) The report provides various examples of using the data of satellite measurements in this microwave window to solve these tasks.
