A33E:
Calibration and Validation of Satellite Microwave, Infrared, and Solar Reflective Observations III Posters


Session ID#: 8604

Session Description:
Satellite observations from passive microwave, infrared and solar reflective instruments play a very important role in weather forecast and climate assessments. However, these observations are subject to errors and uncertainties such as sensor degradation, calibration drift and geolocation error.

This session supports all activities related to calibration, validation, bias correction, inter-calibration, and geolocation correction of the observations from passive microwave, infrared and visible instruments including, but not limited to, MODIS, HIRS, CRIS, AIRS, IASI, AMSU, MHS, TRMM, GMI, ATMS, SAPHIR, AMSR, SSMI, SSMI/S, VIIRS, AVHRR and similar space-based instruments. In addition, this session covers similar activities that are used to validate products that are retrieved using these observations.
