Boundary Layer Remote Sensing with Combined Active and Passive Techniques: GPS Radio Occultation and High-Resolution Stereo Imaging (WindCam) Small Satellite Concept
Objective: significant progress in understanding low-cloud boundary layer processes. This is the Single largest uncertainty in climate projections. Radio occultation has unique features suited to boundary layer remote sensing (1) Cloud penetrating (2) Very high vertical resolution (approximately 50m-100m) (3) Sensitivity to thermodynamic variables
Sensitivity of Multiangle Imaging to Aerosol Optical Depth, and to Pure-Particle Size Distribution and Composition Over Ocean
Multiangle, multispectral remote sensing observations, such as those anticipated from the Earth Observing System (EOS) Multi-angle Imaging SpectroRadiometer (MISR), can significantly improve our ability to constrain aerosol properties from space.
The MISR Calibration Program
The Multi-angle Imaging SpectroRadiometer (MISR) is currently under development for NASA's Earth Observing System (EOS). The instrument consists of nine pushbroom cameras, each with four spectral bands in the visible and near-infrared. Detailed are the MISR preflight characteristics, design of the On-Board Calibrator, and the radiance product processing. Detailed specifications and test plans are given.
