Accurate radiometry from space: an essential tool for climate studies.
The Earth's climate is undoubtedly changing; however, the time scale, consequences and causal attribution remain the subject of significant debate and uncertainty. Detection of subtle indicators from a background of natural variability requires measurements over a time base of decades. This places severe demands on the instrumentation used, requiring measurements of sufficient accuracy and sens...
متن کاملHyperspectral Imagery Radiometry Improvements for Visible and Near-Infrared Climate Studies
We describe a new method to improve radiometric accuracy for spaceborne Earth-viewing hyperspectral imaging to help achieve CLARREO mission benchmark measurements of climate in the shortwave spectral region by using on-orbit crosscalibrations to spectral solar irradiances in the near-ultraviolet to near-infrared. Unlike traditional solar diffuser-based calibrations, the methods described here u...
متن کاملThe space elevator: a new tool for space studies.
The objective has been to develop a viable scenario for the construction, deployment and operation of a space elevator using current or near future technology. This effort has been primarily a paper study with several experimental tests of specific systems. Computer simulations, engineering designs, literature studies and inclusion of existing programs have been utilized to produce a design for...
متن کاملAccurate Geometric Correction for Normalisation of Palsar Radiometry
In contrast to earlier satellites with SAR instruments, the ENVISAT and ALOS platforms provide state vectors and timing with higher relative and absolute accuracy, allowing the ASAR and PALSAR sensors to directly support accurate tiepoint-free geolocation of their imagery. This enables not only direct map overlays with other sources, but also normalisation for the systematic influence of terrai...
متن کاملDetection of Ultraweak Photon Emission (UPE) from Cells as a Tool for Pathological Studies
Objective: It is well-known that all living cells emit ultra-weak photon emission (UPE), which is due to byproducts of chemical reactions in cell metabolisms. It has been shown that Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) in the cells enhances the UPE intensity. The magnitude of such UPE is extremely weak (i.e. a few to 103 photons/ (sec.cm2)), and the detection of such ultra-weak signals is hardly possi...
