A systemtic underestimation of remotely sensed sea surface temperature occurs in calculations which assume a value of the surface emittance equal to unity in the atmospheric window, where the measurements are taken. The paper includes a detailed examination of the effect on the sea surface temperature estimation caused by assuming a wrong value of the emittance. Results show that this effect is a function of the atmospheric transmittance and the surface temperature. The angular dependence and the influence of the sea state on this effect are also investigated
