Radiance Uncertainty Characterisation to Facilitate Climate Data Record Creation [PDF]

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2019
The uncertainty in a climate data records (CDRs) derived from Earth observations in part derives from the propagated uncertainty in the radiance record (the fundamental climate data record, FCDR) from which the geophysical estimates in the CDR are ...

Adjusting for Desert-Dust-Related Biases in a Climate Data Record of Sea Surface Temperature

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2020
Atmospheric desert-dust aerosol, primarily from north Africa, causes negative biases in remotely sensed climate data records of sea surface temperature (SST). Here, large-scale bias adjustments are deduced and applied to the v2 climate data record of SST
