Aerothermodynamic radiation studies [PDF]

open access: yes
We have built and made operational a 6 in. electric arc driven shock tube which alloys us to study the non-equilibrium radiation and kinetics of low pressure (0.1 to 1 torr) gases processed by 6 to 12 km/s shock waves.

Attitude-referenced radiometer study. Part 2: Primary calibration system [PDF]

open access: yes
A primary calibration system, PCS, for infrared radiometers has been developed, built, and tested. The system allows radiometers to be calibrated with less than 1 percent error for use in earth coverage horizon measurements, earth resources surveys, and ...

Noise Mitigation of the SMOS L1C Multi-Angle Brightness Temperature Based on the Lookup Table

open access: yesRemote Sensing
Owing to the inherently lower sensitivity of microwave aperture synthesis radiometers (ASRs), Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS) satellite brightness temperature (TB) measurements exhibit significantly greater system noise than real-aperture ...

Effect of nonideal square-law detection on static calibration in noise-injection radiometers [PDF]

open access: yes
The effect of nonideal square-law detection on the static calibration for a class of Dicke radiometers is examined. It is shown that fourth-order curvature in the detection characteristic adds a nonlinear term to the linear calibration relationship ...

An Effective Onboard Cold-Sky Calibration Strategy for Spaceborne L-Band Synthetic Aperture Radiometers

open access: yesRemote Sensing
The L band frequency shows high sensitivity to sea surface salinity. More stable brightness temperature (TB) measurements are required for L-band radiometers to reduce salinity retrieval errors than for high-frequency radiometers.

Test and evaluation of water vapor radiometers [PDF]

open access: yes
The accuracy of very long baseline interferometry in geodetic and astrometric applications is primarily limited by the propagation delays through the troposphere.

The estimation of the propagation delay through the troposphere from microwave radiometer data [PDF]

open access: yes
The uncertainity in propagation delay estimates is due primarily to tropospheric water, the total amount and vertical distribution of which is variable. Because water vapor both delays and attenuates microwave signals, the propagation delay, or wet path ...
