Aspectos generales sobre la estructura térmica superficial del mar, de la zona comprendida entre el golfo de Penas y la boca occidental del estrecho de Magallanes

This study was carried out within the Project Cimar-Fiordo 2. The general objective was to describe the sea surface temperature in the zone between 46º LS and 52º LS, and from the 73º 52’ LW to the 76º 30’ LW, considering the channel and fjord zone. The analysis was based on satellite images of sea surface temperature. The images used came from the AVHRR radiometer of the NOAA satellite, from the year 1995 to 1998. The cartographic representation and the analysis of the seasonal variability of the sea surface temperature was made using the software of the Geographical Information System (GIS), named IDRISI. The zone was with clouds during all the period of study, mainly in autumn. With the available images it was possible to observe a big difference between the summer and winter temperatures. Equally, in all the seasons, the sea surface temperature diminished from the north to the south zone.
