Image Data Acquisition for NOAA 18 and NOAA 19 Weather Satellites Using QFH Antenna and RTL-SDR

Using Aatsr as a Radiance Calibration Reference for Noaa Satellites

(A)ATSR sea surface temperatures (SSTs) are already being used on a regular basis as a reference source against which to bias-correct SST observations from other satellites. In this paper, we take a different approach and explore the use of the (A)ATSR thermal infrared radiances themselves as a reference against which to compare radiance data from NOAA operational satellites. The known high acc...

An Acquisition and Processing Equipment for SR and VHRR Picture Data of Weather Satellites of the NOAA 3 Type 3 Type

Spring Wheat Yield Assessment Using Noaa Avhrr Data

A potential application of the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) is to monitor crop yields over large areas. The study concentrated on the spring Mheat areas of North Dakota and South Dakota for several years (1989-1992). The NOAA AVHRR data was carefully analyzed to minimize processing and sampling errors. Sums of biweekly NDVI county averages over an eight week period from heading...

Enhancing the Quality of Typhoon Image Database Using NOAA AVHRR Data Received in Thailand

The Japanese geostationary meteorological satellite GMS-5, or also known as ”Himawari,” is positioned at 140◦E above the equator, and serves as a powerful tool for monitoring typhoons on the Pacific Ocean. This satellite is best suited for the monitoring of typhoons because of frequent observation, wide coverage, and fixed scan range. However, the degradation of effective resolution due to eart...
