Visual and infrared images produced by the Seasat visible and infrared radiometer (VIRR) are adequate for the identification of cloud, land, and water features. A statistical comparison of VIRR-derived sea-surface temperatures in a cloud-free region with a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration analysis based on various surface measurements taken in the same region showed agreement to +/- 1.7 degrees K root-mean-square.
Seasat 可见和红外辐射计 (VIRR) 生成的可见光和红外图像足以识别云、陆地和水特征。对无云区域内 VIRR 得出的海面温度与基于同一区域内各种表面测量的美国国家海洋和大气管理局分析进行的统计比较表明，两者的一致性在正负 1.7 开尔文均方根范围内。
