Robust water temperature retrieval using multi-spectral and multi-angular IR measurements

The polarized emissivity of a wind-roughened sea surface: A Monte Carlo model

“…However, reflections become significant at emission angles greater than 50j (Otterman, Susskind, Dalu, Kratz, & Goldberg, 1992). Sensors such as the Along Track Scanning Radiometer (ATSR) which view the sea surface at higher emission angles need accurate emissivity models for use in multi-angle SST retrieval (Barton et al, 1989;Tornow, Borel, & Powers, 1994).…”

“…Silicon diodes were the preferred MTI detectors in the visible because their mature technology yields inexpensive large arrays of high quantum efficiency, although silicon diode arrays are not normally designed to operate in a cryogenic environment, such as that ofthe MTI focal plane. 13 Wavelength (pm) 1 …”

“…TW,i are the TOA brightness temperatures obtained using eq.(2). Details of the algorithm have been published elsewhere (Tornow et al, 1994). We repeat the channel band limits and used water emissivities here for completeness and further reference in Table 2.…”

“…The error of this fit is less than 0.05% for the LWIR and less than 0.3% for the MWIR. Details of this complex fitting procedure can be found in Tornow et al, 1994. 2.3. Point spread function:…”
