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 ...
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 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 ...
