Download e-book for kindle: Post-Launch Calibration of Satellite Sensors by Morain S.A., Budge A.M.

By Morain S.A., Budge A.M.

More and more, within the box of earth statement imagery, there's a desire for picture caliber to be assessable in traceable regular overseas devices (SIU), and for the standardization of universal mapping projections. those wishes, plus the elevated utilization of mixtures of information and snapshot kinds, supplied the stimuli for the advance of this crucial volume.Prepared via individuals of the Joint ISPRS/CEOS WGCV activity strength on Radiometric and Geometric Calibration, this publication is a invaluable textual content for these within the fields of distant sensing expertise, calibration, Earth commentary, and electro-optical sensor parameters.By detailing present calibration methods and the newest 'best practices', this most recent addition to the ISPRS sequence addresses the necessity for consistency through the self-discipline, and encourages the advance of coherent, top quality Earth commentary imagery.

Although UTH depends on both water vapor mixing ratio and atmospheric temperature, observations indicate that the main variations are due to water vapor. 03 K in brightness temperature. 3 Surface variables Surface variables include land vegetation, snow cover, sea ice, ocean color, and temperature. One problem with defining requirements for satellite measurements of the Earth’s surface is the wide range of surface types covered.

On the whole, the accuracy and stability requirements of this important variable, solar irradiance, map directly into radiometer requirements. 1 Total column water-vapor as an example Again, the accuracy (bias) associated with measured humidity is less important than the long-term stability of that measurement. A somewhat arbitrary assumption of a 5 percent accuracy requirement, which for deep layer averages, or vertically integrated water vapor, is being achieved already from the Special Sensor Microwave Imager (SSMI).
