RISTen Years of TRMM/VIRS On-Orbit Calibrations and Multiyear Comparisons of VIRS and MODIS
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: After 10 years of successful operation of the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM)/Visible Infrared Scanner (VIRS), based on sensor performance, the authors have reexamined the calibration algorithms and identified ...
Next-Generation MODIS for Polar Operational Environmental Satellites
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) protoflight model has been delivered to the NASA Earth Observing System AM-1 platform project to provide highly calibrated, near daily, global atmosphere, land, and ...
Four Years of TRMM/VIRS On-Orbit Calibrations and Characterization Using Lunar Models and Data from Terra/MODIS
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Four years of on-orbit solar calibration data have been used to quantify the temporal degradation of the two reflected solar bands of the Visible and Infrared Scanner (VIRS) aboard the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission ...
First Results from the On-Orbit Calibrations of the Visible and Infrared Scanner for the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This work presents the first on-orbit calibration results using the Moon, the Sun, and cold deep space as inputs to the Visible and Infrared Scanner (VIRS) on board the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) satellite. ...
The Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) Sensor Package
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This note is intended to serve primarily as a reference guide to users wishing to make use of the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission data. It covers each of the three primary rainfall instruments: the passive microwave ...
An Overview of the Visible and Infrared Scanner Radiometric Calibration Algorithm
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Visible and Infrared Scanner (VIRS) is one of the principal instruments on board the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) satellite. VIRS measurements provide cloud-top temperatures and structures that complement ...
