The CCOR Compact Coronagraphs for the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite-19 (GOES-19) and the Space Weather Follow On (SWFO) Missions

Arnaud F. R. Thernisien, Damien H. Chua, M. T. Carter, N. Rich et autres

The CCOR Compact Coronagraph is a series of two operational solar coronagraphs sponsored by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). They were designed, built, and tested by the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL). The CCORs will be used by NOAA's Space …

Retrieval of Tropical Cirrus Thermal Optical Depth, Crystal Size, and Shape Using a Dual-View Instrument at 3.7 and 10.8μm

Anthony J. Baran, S. J. Brown, John S. Foot, David L. Mitchell

In this paper the authors derive thermal optical depth at 3.7 and 10.8 μm for tropical cirrus utilizing Along Track Scanning Radiometer data under nighttime conditions. By analytically solving the equation of radiative transfer, inclusive of scattering, a pair of nonlinear equations …

New aerosol robust sea surface temperature algorithms for the along‐track scanning radiometer

S. J. Brown, Andrew R. Harris, Ian M. Mason, Albin M. Závody

The along‐track scanning radiometer (ATSR) was the first spaceborne radiometer to possess a dual view angle capability designed to improve the accuracy of the remote sensing of sea surface temperature (SST). We present the results of comparing SST retrieved by using “single‐look” …

Cirrus properties using ATSR and the potential of ATSR-2/AATSR

Anthony J. Baran, S. J. Brown, David L. Mitchell, John S. Foot et autres

We present several case studies of thermal observations of cirrus using the Along Track Scanning Radiometer (ATSR) nadir and 55° forward view aboard ERS-1 (Earth Resources Satellite). We examine the potential of ATSR for retrieval of thermal optical depth at. 3.7, 10.8 …

The effect of windspeed on sea surface temperature retrieval from space

Andrew R. Harris, S. J. Brown, Ian M. Mason

The effect of windspeed on water emissivity, whilst being negligible around normal incidence, becomes significant above angles of about 50°. We calculate the effect of windspeed on retrieved sea surface temperature and show that errors become significant for the potentially very accurate …

Nonlinearity corrections in calibration of advanced very high resolution radiometer infrared channels

Michael P. Weinreb, Gary A. Hamilton, S. J. Brown, Ronald J. Koczor

The infrared channels of the advanced very high resolution radiometer (AVHRR) are calibrated in‐flight with data acquired when the AVHRR views space and a warm target on board. This determines the two coefficients of a linear calibration equation. However, in its 11‐ …
