Degradation of the VISSR Visible Sensor on GMS-3 during June 1987–December 1988
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Degradation of the VISSR (Visible-Infrared Spin Scan Radiometer) visible sensor on the GMS-3 is estimated for a period from June 1987 to December 1988 by monitoring reflectances obtained from four targets on the earth. ...
Biases in Expendable Bathythermograph Data: A New View Based on Historical Side-by-Side Comparisons
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ecause they make up 56% of ocean temperature profile data between 1967 and 2001, quantifying the biases in expendable bathythermograph (XBT) data is fundamental to understanding the evolution of the planetary energy and ...
An Algorithm for Classifying Unknown Expendable Bathythermograph (XBT) Instruments Based on Existing Metadata
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractTime-varying biases in expendable bathythermograph (XBT) instruments have emerged as a key uncertainty in estimates of historical ocean heat content variability and change. One of the challenges in the development ...
XBT Science: Assessment of Instrumental Biases and Errors
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: xpendable bathythermograph (XBT) data were the major component of the ocean temperature profile observations from the late 1960s through the early 2000s, and XBTs still continue to provide critical data to monitor surface ...
