RISObservation Error Statistics for NOAA-10 Temperature and Height Retrievals
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In 1988, the algorithm for retrieving temperature soundings from radiances measured by NOAA's polar-orbiting satellites was changed from a statistical to a ?physical? retrieval system. Because of this change, the National ...
A Physical Method for the Calibration of the AVHRR/3 Thermal IR Channels 1: The Prelaunch Calibration Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The absolute accuracy of the thermal infrared (IR) radiances and brightness temperatures derived from the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) is still unknown, with major sources of error not yet fully understood. ...
Intersatellite Radiance Biases for the High-Resolution Infrared Radiation Sounders (HIRS) on board NOAA-15, -16, and -17 from Simultaneous Nadir Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Intersatellite radiance comparisons for the 19 infrared channels of the High-Resolution Infrared Radiation Sounders (HIRS) on board NOAA-15, -16, and -17 are performed with simultaneous nadir observations at the orbital ...
The Usefulness of In-Flight Measurements of Space Count to Improve Calibration of the AVHRR Solar Reflectance Bands
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The solar reflectance bands (SRB; centered at ?1 = 0.63, ?2 = 0.83, and ?3A = 1.61 ?m) of the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometers (AVHRR) flown on board NOAA satellites are often referred to as noncalibrated in-flight. ...
