Geosurface radiometric temperatures from atmospherically correctedmulti-angle measurements

摘要

Geosurface measurements taken by radiometric sensors from highaltitudes may become corrupted by the intervening atmosphere. Byassuming a relatively high transmission and horizontally stratifiedatmosphere over the observational geometry, the corruptions can belargely removed from multiple incidence angle measurements. This datainversion method has been modeled and the results are encouraging. Inthis analysis, examples are presented for two radiometers sensitive toradiation in a) the microwave region, and b) another in the thermalinfrared band
