Multichannel radiometer calibration: a new approach.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The error in irradiance measured with Sun-calibrated multichannel radiometers may be large when the solar zenith angle (SZA) increases. This could be particularly detrimental in radiometers installed at mid and high latitudes, where SZAs at noon are larger than 50 degrees during part of the year. When a multiregressive methodology, including the total ozone column and SZA, was applied in the calculation of the calibration constant, an important improvement was observed. By combining two different equations, an improvement was obtained at almost all the SZAs in the calibration. An independent test that compared the irradiance of a multichannel instrument and a spectroradiometer installed in Ushuaia, Argentina, was used to confirm the results.

Retrieval of Mixing Height by Multichannel Microwave Radiometer Observations
The mixing layer height (MLH) defines the top of the layer near the surface where turbulent mixing is occurring. In the recent years, new algorithms have been developed for estimating MLH, though the automatic detection of the top of the mixing layer still remains challenging. For example, when the MLH is estimated from lidar data, the lidar overlap limit may mask the early growth of the mixing...
متن کاملMultichannel camera calibration
For the latest computer vision applications, it becomes more and more popular to take advantage of multichannel cameras (RGB cameras, etc.) to obtain not only gray values but also color information of pixels. The currently most common approach for multichannel camera calibration is the straightforward application of methods developed for calibration of single channel cameras. These conventional...
متن کاملAnalysis and improvement of tipping calibration for ground-based microwave radiometers
The tipping-curve calibration method has been an important calibration technique for ground-based microwave radiometers that measure atmospheric emission at low optical depth. The method calibrates a radiometer system using data taken by the radiometer at two or more viewing angles in the atmosphere. In this method, the relationship between atmospheric opacity and viewing angle is used as a con...
متن کاملMultichannel Kondo approach to the cuprate and recent laser ARPES data
The existing theoretical approaches have been unable to confront the large corpus of outstanding data on the cuprate superconductor in a persuasive and unified manner. There is a general opinion now growing that these theories miss some essential points. We propose one based on multichannel Kondo effect that is physically justifiable and confronts the data adequately. In addition to earlier da...

The Passive Advanced Unit (PAU) for ocean monitoring is a new type of instrument that combines in a single receiver and without time multiplexing, a polarimetric pseudo-correlation microwave radiometer at L-band (PAU-RAD) and a GPS reflectometer (PAU-GNSS/R). These instruments in conjunction with an infra-red radiometer (PAU-IR) will respectively provide the sea surface temperature and the sea ...
