Abstract Satellite remote sensing of aerosol is largely conducted at moderate or coarse spatial resolution around 1–10 km. Nevertheless, at urban areas with high human activity, aerosol can originate from complex emission sources and may also vary strongly in space.

The article discusses a method of vicarious data calibration of the MSS sensor of the Kanopus-V spacecraft based on the observation of RadCalNet polygons in the 2018–2020 period. The technique includes the stage of processing ground-based RadCalNet measurements for the period, with the aim of analytical approximation of the time series to ensure its ...

Calibrating Geosynchronous and Polar Orbiting Satellites: Sharing Best Practices
Earth remote sensing optical satellite systems are often divided into two categories—geosynchronous and sun-synchronous. Geosynchronous systems essentially rotate with the Earth and continuously observe the same region of the Earth.

Use of external solar spectra to multispectral sensor systems as an alternative for radiometric correction and calibration of ToA reflectance [PDF]
Most Earth observation satellite missions do not have instruments to measure solar irradiance in orbit. Consequently, the temporal variability of the recorded reflectance is based only on the radiance measured by the sensor, since the incident solar ...

Applying principles of metrology to historical Earth observations from satellites [PDF]
Approaches from metrology can assist Earth Observation (EO) practitioners to develop quantitative characterisation of uncertainty in EO data. This is necessary for the credibility of statements based on Earth observations in relation to topics of public ...

The Spaceborne Imaging Spectrometer DESIS: Data Access and Scientific Applications [PDF]
The DLR Earth Sensing Imaging Spectrometer (DESIS) is a space-based instrument installed and operated on the International Space Station (ISS). This space mission is the achievement of the collaboration between the German Aerospace Center (DLR) and the ...

The reflectance-based vicarious calibration approach uses measurements at well-understood test sites to provide top-of-atmosphere reference reflectance values suitable for inter-calibration approaches and does not require coincident views.

Ground-based measurements for validation of L2A-products [PDF]
Multispectral Copernicus Sentinel-2 and hyperspectral DESIS and EnMAP missions serve for observation of land-cover change and deriving biophysical variables related to agriculture and forestry, monitor coastal and inland waters and are useful for risk ...
