RISImpact of Scene Dependence on AVHRR Albedo Models
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Narrowband observations from NOAA's Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) are used operationally by NOAA to estimate the earth's broadband planetary albedo. Since May of 1988; these broadband albedo estimates ...
The Relative Merits of Narrowband Channels for Estimating Broadband Albedos
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Observations made with the current and proposed narrowband shortwave channels aboard the NOAA series of satellites were simulated for a number of different surfaces (ocean, vegetative land, desert, cloud and snow) using ...
Calibration of the Solar Channels of the NOAA-9 AVHRR Using High Altitude Aircraft Measurements
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A method for calibrating satellite radiometers is investigated. A calibrated spectral radiometer carried aboard a U2 aircraft at an altitude of 60 000 ft was aligned with White Sands. New Mexico along the same view vector ...
Evaluating the Design of an Earth Radiation Budget Instrument with System Simulations. Part I: Instantaneous Estimates
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A set of system simulations has been performed to evaluate candidate scanner designs for an Earth Radiation Budget Instrument (ERBI) for the Earth Observing System (EOS) of the late 1990s. Five different instruments are ...
