Thin Ice Area Extraction in the Sea of Okhotsk from Gcom-w1/amsr2 Data
Passive microwave radiometers on-board satellites can penetrate clouds and can monitor the global sea ice distribution on daily basis. The authors have developed an algorithm to extract thin ice area in the Sea of Okhotsk from the passive microwave sensor AMSR2 on-board GCOM-W1 satellite. The algorithm uses the brightness temperature scatter plots of AMSR2 19GHz polarization difference(V–H) vs ...
متن کاملMISR photogrammetric data reduction for geophysical retrievals
The theoretical concept, based on modern photogrammetric methods, underlying the design of the Multi-angle Imaging SpectroRadiometer (MISR) science data processing system, responsible for the autonomous and continuous georectification of multiangle imagery, is the subject of this paper. The algorithm partitions effort between the MISR Science Computing Facility and the Earth Observing System (E...
متن کاملInstrument Performance and Calibration of Amsr-e and Amsr2
The Global Change Observation Mission (GCOM) consists of two satellite observing systems and three generations to achieve global, comprehensive, and long-term Earth monitoring. The first satellite of the GCOM-W (Water) series will be GCOM-W1 with the Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer-2 (AMSR2) onboard. AMSR2 is a successor of AMSR on the Advanced Earth Observing Satellite-II (ADEOS-II) and...
متن کاملEvaluation of AMSR2 soil moisture products over the contiguous United States using in situ data from the International Soil Moisture Network
High quality soil moisture datasets are required for various environmental applications. The launch of the Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer 2 (AMSR2) on board the Global Change Observation Mission 1—Water (GCOM-W1) in May 2012 has provided global near-surface soil moisture data, with an average revisit frequency of two days. Since AMSR2 is a new passive microwave system in operation, it i...
متن کاملImproved Uncertainty Estimates for Geophysical Parameter Retrieval
Algorithms for retrieval of geophysical parameters from radiances measured by instruments onboard satellites play a large role in helping scientists monitor the state of the planet. Current retrieval algorithms based on neural networks are superior in accuracy and speed compared to physics-based algorithms like iterated minimum variance (IMV). However, they do not have any form of error estimat...
