Long-term calibration monitoring of Spectralon diffusers BRDF in the air-ultraviolet.
Long-term calibration monitoring of the bidirectional reflectance distribution function (BRDF) of Spectralon diffusers in the air-ultraviolet is presented. Four Spectralon diffusers were monitored in this study. Three of the diffusers, designated as H1, H2, and H3, were used in the prelaunch radiance calibration of the Solar Backscatter Ultraviolet/2 (SBUV/2) satellite instruments on National O...
متن کاملUltraviolet Sky Radiance Distributions of Translucent Overcast Skies
The diffuse sky radiation component in the ultraviolet wavelengths is often at least 50% of the global irradiance under clear skies, and is the dominant component of ultraviolet global radiation under translucent overcast skies. The distribution of sky radiance was measured in a rural area and modeled for wavelength bands of ultraviolet-B (UVB, 280-320 nm) and ultraviolet-A (UVA, 320-400 nm). S...
متن کاملNot just about sunburn--the ozone hole's profound effect on climate has significant implications for Southern Hemisphere ecosystems.
Climate scientists have concluded that stratospheric ozone depletion has been a major driver of Southern Hemisphere climate processes since about 1980. The implications of these observed and modelled changes in climate are likely to be far more pervasive for both terrestrial and marine ecosystems than the increase in ultraviolet-B radiation due to ozone depletion; however, they have been largel...
متن کاملRadiance transmittance measured at the ocean surface.
The radiance transmittance (Tr) is the ratio of the water-leaving radiance (Lw(0+)) to the sub-surface upwelling radiance (Lu(0-)), which is an important optical parameter for ocean optics and ocean color remote sensing. Historically, a constant value (~0.54) based on theoretical presumptions has been adopted for Tr and is widely used. This optical parameter, however, has never been measured in...
متن کاملBidirectional reflectance function for oceanic waters with varying chlorophyll concentrations: Measurements versus predictions
The bidirectional reflectance of the ocean is an important parameter in ocean color remote sensing. Model predictions for case-1 waters were compared with measurements over a large range of chlorophyll concentrations (0.1–10 mg m23 Chl, where Chl represents the sum of chlorophyll a and phaeophytin a), but with restricted solar zenith angles. We used the measured chlorophyll concentration and a ...
