On-board Calibration Noise Sources for the Global Precipitation Measurement (gpm) Microwave Imager (gmi)
The Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) Microwave Imager (GMI) will fly on the GPM core spacecraft to be launched in 2013 and the low-inclination spacecraft to be launched in 2014 [1,2]. The GMI radiometer is a conically scanning microwave radiometer covering several bands from 10 to 183 GHz. The two primary on-board calibration targets are a warm load black-body and cold sky reflector. Addi...
متن کاملCloudSat-Based Assessment of GPM Microwave Imager Snowfall Observation Capabilities
The sensitivity of Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) Microwave Imager (GMI) high-frequency channels to snowfall at higher latitudes (around 60◦N/S) is investigated using coincident CloudSat observations. The 166 GHz channel is highlighted throughout the study due to its ice scattering sensitivity and polarization information. The analysis of three case studies evidences the important combi...
متن کاملSpectral and Radiometric calibration of the Advanced Land Imager
Calibration of spectral and radiometric measurements of the Advanced Land Imager (ALI) is a critical element of its land-sensing mission. Without initial ground-based and subsequent on-orbit standardization, the data cannot be reliably used for the intricate analysis of atmospheric conditions and complex surface regions. Daily, weekly, and monthly recertification steps are taken to recalibrate ...
متن کاملRadiometric Calibration Pipeline for the EO-1 Advanced Land Imager
This paper covers the design and initial performance analysis of the radiometric calibration pipeline software for the EO-1 Advanced Land Imager (EO-1). The design and implementation of the software and of the radiometric calibration database are discussed. Radiometric calibration data were gathered in the laboratory during integration and test and were used for initializing the database. This ...
متن کاملLandsat-8 Operational Land Imager Radiometric Calibration and Stability
The Landsat-8 Operational Land Imager (OLI) was radiometrically calibrated prior to launch in terms of spectral radiance, using an integrating sphere source traceable to National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) standards of spectral irradiance. It was calibrated on-orbit in terms of reflectance using diffusers characterized prior to launch using NIST traceable standards. The radian...
