The video discusses a climate study using a Goodyear airship equipped with an infrared radiometer to measure ocean surface temperatures. The study aims to address inaccuracies in satellite readings caused by atmospheric interference. The radiometer, mounted on a blimp, provides precise temperature measurements, which are compared with data collected from a boat and a buoy. The final analysis is conducted at the Scripps Institute, with hopes of improving climate change predictions.
