The Global Change Observation Mission (GCOM) consists of two satellite observing systems and three generations to achieve global, comprehensive, and long-term Earth monitoring. The first satellite of the GCOM-W (Water) series will be GCOM-W1 with the Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer-2 (AMSR2) onboard. AMSR2 is a successor of AMSR on the Advanced Earth Observing Satellite-II (ADEOS-II) and...

The limited radiometric resolution and expiring life expectancy of the Landsat sensors have prompted this study to investigate the potential of using ASTER imagery in conjunction with Landsat imagery. This project developed methods to calibrate processed ASTER imagery and Landsat 7 ETM+ imagery to equivalent measurements for change detection studies. Landsat 7 ETM+ and ASTER imagery of southwes...

We describe an accurate and precise calibration procedure for multichannel optical pyrometers such as the 6-channel, 3-ns temporal resolution instrument used in the Caltech experimental geophysics laboratory. We begin with a review of calibration sources for shock temperatures in the 3000-30,000 K range. High-power, coiled tungsten halogen standards of spectral irradiance appear to be the only ...

We present a rapid and accurate method of calibrating seismic systems using a random binary calibration signal and cross-spectral techniques. The complex transfer function obtained from the cross spectrum is least-squares fit to the ratio of two polynomials in s(s-i~) whose degrees are determined by a linear systems analysis. This provides a compact representation of the system frequency respon...

Vicarious calibration data screening method based on the measured atmospheric optical depth and the variance of the measured surface reflectance at the test sites is proposed. Reliability of the various calibration data has to be improved. In order to improve the reliability of the vicarious calibration data, some screenings have to be made. Through experimental study, it is found that vicariou...

A specially designed circular towing tan~ was developed at the Northeast Fisheries Center (NEFC) for calibrating plankton-net flowmeters . ashore in order to provide more accurate volume estimates and to save valuable shipboard time. Results of a cross-calibration experiment with a flume in use at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) demonstrated that calibration factors produced by ...

OBJECTIVES To calculate the prevalence of disabling chronic pain (DCP) and to offer a more representative and accurate estimation by applying different calibration techniques. SETTINGS 2011 Andalusian Health Survey, a cross-sectional population survey based on face-to-face home interviews. PARTICIPANTS 6507 people aged 16 years or older and living in Andalusia, Spain. OUTCOMES Design weig...
