RISA 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 ...
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 ...
Toward Improved Validation of Satellite Sea Surface Skin Temperature Measurements for Climate Research
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A poor validation strategy will compromise the quality of satellite-derived sea surface temperature (SST) products because confidence limits cannot be quantified. This paper addresses the question of how to provide the ...
Calibration of the Improved Stratospheric and Mesospheric Sounder. Part II: Optical Alignment, Spatial, and Pressure Modulator Calibrations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In Part I the Improved Stratospheric and Mesospheric Sounder instrument and its calibration facility were described, and the results of the radiometric and spectral calibrations were presented. In Part II the remaining ...
The Miami2001 Infrared Radiometer Calibration and Intercomparison. Part II: Shipboard Results
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The second calibration and intercomparison of infrared radiometers (Miami2001) was held at the University of Miami's Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science (RSMAS) during a workshop held from May to June 2001. ...
Calibration of the Improved Stratospheric and Mesospheric Sounder. Part I: Introduction, Spectral, and Radiometric Calibration
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Improved Stratospheric and Mesospheric Sounder (ISAMS) is an infrared spectroradiometer that formed part of the science instrument payload of the Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite. An essential part of the success ...
Solid-State Radiometer Measurements of Sea Surface Skin Temperature
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Satellite sea surface skin temperature (SSST) maps are readily available from precisely calibrated radiometer systems such as the ERS along-track scanning radiometer and, in the near future, from the moderate-resolution ...
The Miami2001 Infrared Radiometer Calibration and Intercomparison. Part I: Laboratory Characterization of Blackbody Targets
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The second calibration and intercomparison of infrared radiometers (Miami2001) was held at the University of Miami's Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science (RSMAS) during May?June 2001. The participants were ...
The 2016 CEOS Infrared Radiometer Comparison: Part II: Laboratory Comparison of Radiation Thermometers
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractTo ensure confidence, measurements carried out by imaging radiometers mounted on satellites require robust validation using ?fiducial quality? measurements of the same in situ parameter. For surface temperature ...
