Comparison of Plotting Methods for Solar Radiometer Calibration
An alternative formulation of the Langley plot relating observed solar irradiance, extraterrestrial solar irradiance, and air mass has been suggested to potentially improve radiometer calibration accuracy. In this study, results from the traditional and alternative plotting methods are compared using both simulated and measured data. The simulations indicate that their relative accuracies depen...
متن کاملPolarimetric Microwave Radiometer Calibration
A polarimetric radiometer is a radiometer with the capability to measure the correlation information between vertically and horizontally polarized electric fields. To better understand and calibrate this type of radiometer, several research efforts have been undertaken. 1) All microwave radiometer measurements of brightness temperature (7B) include an additive noise component. The variance and ...
متن کاملAquarius Radiometer: Pre-launch Performance and Calibration
The NASA-CONAE Aquarius/SAC-D observatory for measuring the changing global distribution of sea surface salinity at unprecedented accuracy from space is scheduled to launch in 2010 [1]. The Aquarius Instrument comprises a 1.4 GHz radiometer and a 1.2 GHz scatterometer, both of which share a common reflector antenna, feed network, and other electronics. The ability to measure sea surface salinit...
متن کاملSimplifying irradiance independent color calibration
An important component of camera calibration is to derive a mapping of a camera’s output RGB to a deviceindependent color space such as the CIE XYZ or sRGB. Commonly, the calibration process is performed by photographing a color chart in a scene under controlled lighting and finding a linear transformation M that maps the chart’s colors from linear camera RGB to XYZ. When the XYZ values corresp...
متن کاملInitial solar irradiance determinations from nimbus 7 cavity radiometer measurements.
Preliminary results from solar radiation measurements from the earth radiation budget experiment on the Nimbus 7 satellite yield a mean value of 1376.0 watts per square meter for the "solar constant" from 16 November 1978 to 15 May 1979. The observed variability (root-mean-square deviation) is +/- 0.73 watt per square meter (+/- 0.05 percent) for the period.
