Calibration of RapidScat Brightness Temperature

2018 IEEE 15th Specialist Meeting on Microwave Radiometry and Remote Sensing of the Environment (MicroRad), 2018
NASA RapidScat is the first satellite scatterometer that flown in non-Sun-synchronous orbit. Its unique orbit enabled collocated measurements with multiple satellite remote-sensing instruments that mostly fly in Sun-synchronous orbits. RapidScat's primary mission was retrieval of global ocean wind vectors from normalized radar backscatter measurements.

Radio Observations of the Distribution of Chromospheric Brightness Temperature

Nature, 1970
Abstract : Radio observations of the solar eclipse of 7 March 1970 were made at several observatories in a cooperative effort, covering a wavelength range of 2.1 mm to 2 cm. An analysis of the radio observations is given. (Author)

Effect of Color Temperature on Apparent Brightness

Journal of the Optical Society of America, 1954
Two screens viewed side by side were illuminated by radiations approximating those of blackbodies of different color temperatures and matched in brightness at photopic levels. A group of 73 observers found that less light of the higher color temperature was needed to produce equality of brightness than would be required by the CIE normal observer.

Salinity retrieval from SMOS brightness temperatures

IGARSS 2003. 2003 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium. Proceedings (IEEE Cat. No.03CH37477), 2004
The neural network methodology is applied to the sea surface salinity retrieval from SMOS brightness temperatures. The direct model for simulating the brightness temperatures is the Small Slope Approximation model (SSA). Different cases are compared to analyze the retrieval quality.

Brightness temperature ratios: analysis of typical behaviour

1995 International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, IGARSS '95. Quantitative Remote Sensing for Science and Applications, 2002
In the framework of the Olympus and Italsat satellites experiment, the Politecnico di Milano carried out a campaign aiming to measure brightness temperatures at different frequencies and to estimate some quantities, as water vapour (V), liquid water integrated content (L) and atmospheric attenuation, related to absorption phenomena of interest for ...

Covariance Statistics of Polarimetric Brightness Temperature Measurements

IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing, 2008
All microwave radiometer measurements of brightness temperature (T B) include an additive noise component. With conventional linearly polarized radiometers, the variance of the noise is a well-understood function of the system temperature, the predetection bandwidth, and the integration time according to the so-called ldquoradiometer uncertainty ...

Brightness, Emittance and Temperature

1988
During the past fifty years there has been a spectacular growth in the number of applications for particle beams. The various practical requirements scan orders of magnitude in energy, current, and particle mass, from electrons to uranium ions. The behaviour of some of these beams, especially when self-fields are large and interaction with walls or ...

HIRAD Brightness Temperature Image Geolocation Validation

IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Letters, 2017
The Hurricane Imaging Radiometer (HIRAD) is an airborne microwave radiometer developed to provide wide-swath hurricane surface wind speed and rain rate imagery for scientific research. This letter presents a geometric evaluation of the brightness temperature (Tb) images produced by HIRAD for high-contrast land/water targets.

Modeling the TOA Brightness Temperature on the SWIR-Sensors

IGARSS 2018 - 2018 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2018
Creation of maps of surface temperature distribution based on satellite imagery data is becoming increasingly important throughout the past decade and is relevant for a number of studies. This paper presents the values of the coefficients and expressions for calculating the brightness temperature on the SWIR sensors of Landsat-8, Sentinel-2A/B and ...

Colour Temperature and Brightness of Moonlight

Nature, 1923
OUR more complete knowledge of full or black-body radiation embodied in Planck's law makes it possible to speak of the temperature of radiation as well as the temperature of radiating bodies. Thus, the temperature of any visible radiation is the temperature to which a black body must be raised to emit light as nearly as possible of the same integral ...
