Journal ArticleDOI
Suomi-NPP CrIS radiometric calibration uncertainty
David C. Tobin,Henry E. Revercomb,Robert O. Knuteson,Joe K. Taylor,Fred A. Best,Lori Borg,Dan DeSlover,Graeme Martin,Henry Buijs,Mark P. Esplin,Ronald Glumb,Yong Han,Daniel Mooney,Joe Predina,L. Larrabee Strow,Lawrence Suwinski,Likun Wang +16 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the CrIS radiometric calibration uncertainty based on pre-launch and on-orbit efforts to estimate calibration parameter uncertainties, and provide example results of recent post-launch validation efforts to assess the predicted uncertainty.
Journal ArticleDOI
A principal component noise filter for high spectral resolution infrared measurements
Paolo Antonelli,Henry E. Revercomb,Lawrence A. Sromovsky,William L. Smith,Robert O. Knuteson,David C. Tobin,Raymond K. Garcia,H. B. Howell,Hung-Lung Huang,Fred A. Best +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, principal component analysis (PCA) was applied to reduce the random noise present in the hyperspectral infrared observations, and the results obtained depend on the variability of selected sets of observations and on specific instrument characteristics such as spectral resolution and noise statistics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Solar and Thermal Radiation in Jupiter's Atmosphere: Initial Results of the Galileo Probe Net Flux Radiometer
Lawrence A. Sromovsky,Fred A. Best,A. D. Collard,Patrick M. Fry,Henry E. Revercomb,R. S. Freedman,Glenn S. Orton,J. L. Hayden,Martin G. Tomasko,Mark T. Lemmon +9 more
TL;DR: The Galileo probe net flux radiometer measured radiation within Jupiter's atmosphere over the 125-kilometer altitude range between pressures of 0.44 bar and 14 bars to suggest an increasing water abundance with depth or a deep cloud layer.
Journal ArticleDOI
Infrared land surface remote sensing using high spectral resolution aircraft observations
Robert O. Knuteson,Fred A. Best,D. H. Deslover,Brian Osborne,Henry E. Revercomb,William L. Smith +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, a method for emissivity-temperature separation using high spectral resolution infrared observations is presented, which is illustrated using observations from a high altitude aircraft over a ground truth site in North Central Oklahoma, USA.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
A geosynchronous imaging Fourier transform spectrometer (GIFTS) for hyperspectral atmospheric remote sensing: instrument overview and preliminary performance results
John Elwell,G. W. Cantwell,Deron Scott,Roy W. Esplin,Glen Hansen,Scott M. Jensen,Mark Jensen,Steven Brown,L. J. Zollinger,V. A. Thurgood,Mark P. Esplin,Ronald J. Huppi,Gail E. Bingham,Henry E. Revercomb,Fred A. Best,David C. Tobin,Joe K. Taylor,Robert O. Knuteson,William L. Smith,Robert A. Reisse,R. Hooker +20 more
TL;DR: The GIFTS measurement requirements and the technology utilized by the GIFTS sensor to provide the required system performance are discussed and preliminary results from the recently completed calibration are presented.
