RISAn Instrumented Aircraft for Atmospheric Research in New Zealand and the South Pacific
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The New Zealand Meteorological Service has instrumented a Fokker Friendship F27 aircraft as part of its research program in meteorology and the atmospheric sciences. The aircraft, which has large underwing pylons to carry ...
A Second-Generation Blackbody System for the Calibration and Verification of Seagoing Infrared Radiometers
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: uasi-operational shipborne radiometers provide a fiducial reference measurement (FRM) for satellite validation of satellite sea surface skin temperature (SSTskin) retrievals. External reference blackbodies are required to ...
Quantitative Microwave Backscatter Measurements from the Ocean Surface Using Digital Marine Radar Images
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The capabilities for quantitative measurements of the ocean backscatter at low grazing angles of a conventional low-budget X-band marine radar associated with a commercial digital capture board are investigated. Details ...
An Infrared Sea Surface Temperature Autonomous Radiometer (ISAR) for Deployment aboard Volunteer Observing Ships (VOS)
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The infrared SST autonomous radiometer (ISAR) is a self-calibrating instrument capable of measuring in situ sea surface skin temperature (SSTskin) to an accuracy of 0.1 K. Extensive field deployments alongside two independent ...
The Calibration and Intercalibration of Sea-Going Infrared Radiometer Systems Using a Low Cost Blackbody Cavity
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: There are many infrared radiometer systems available for the measurement of in situ sea surface skin temperature (SSST). Unfortunately, the marine environment is extremely hostile to optical components, and to ensure the ...
