IN-FLIGHT ABSOLUTE RADIOMETRIC CALIBRATION OF THE LANDSAT THEMATIC MAPPER (WHITE SANDS, NEW MEXICO).KASTNER, CAROL JANE. January 1985 (has links)
The in-flight absolute radiometric calibration of the Thematic Mapper (TM) is being conducted using the results of field measurements at White Sands, New Mexico. These measurements are made to characterize the ground and atmosphere at the time the TM is acquiring an image of White Sands. The data are used as input to a radiative transfer code that computes the radiance at the entrance pupil of the TM. The calibration is obtained by comparing the digital counts associated with the TM image of the measured ground site with the radiative transfer code result. The calibrations discussed here are for the first four visible and near-infrared bands of the TM. In this dissertation the data reduction for the first calibration attempts on January 3, 1983, and July 8, 1984, is discussed. Included are a review of radiative transfer theory and a discussion of model atmospheric parameters as defined for the White Sands area. These model parameters are used to assess the errors associated with the calibration procedure. Each input parameter to the radiative transfer code is varied from its model value in proportion to the uncertainty with which it can be determined. The effects of these uncertainties on the predicted radiances are determined. It is thought that the optical depth components τ(Ray), τ(Mie), τ(oz), and τ(H₂O) can be measured to within 10%, 2%, 10%, and 30%, respectively. For the white gypsum sand, surface reflectance uniformity is on the order of 1.5%, and the overall uncertainty in measured reflectance is about 2%. This is due to an uncertainty in the reflectance factor of the calibration plates. The greatest uncertainty in calibration is attributed to our uncertainty in the aerosol parameters, in particular the imaginary component of refractive index. The cumulative effect of these uncertainties is thought to produce an uncertainty in computed radiance of about 5%.

An investigation in the use of satellite data to develop a geomagnetic secular variation model over Southern Africa.Nahayo, Emmanuel. January 2011 (has links)
Time variations of the geomagnetic field can be classified into two main categories
of internal and external origin with respect to the surface of the Earth. It has been
found that the variations that take place on longer time scales (~ 1 year and longer)
are commonly known as secular variation (SV) and are of internal origin. There is a
need to develop SV models using satellite data as the use of ground data is not always
possible with many limitations including the limited data points and lack of data over
ocean areas that are not easily accessible. Two regional geomagnetic field modelling
techniques namely polynomial surface modelling (PolyM) and Spherical Cap Harmonic
Analysis (SCHA) were applied to CHAMP satellite data recorded between 2001 and
2005 to investigate the use of satellite data to develop a geomagnetic SV model over
southern Africa. The restricted area of investigation is between 10° and 40° South in
latitude and between 10° and 40° East in longitude. The resulting regional models of
this investigation were validated against the two widely used global field models IGRF
10 and CHAOS using the available ground survey data obtained during the same period
over southern Africa. The results suggest that the regional field models can be derived
based entirely on satellite data. However, the regional SV models can be improved by
combining both high quality satellite and ground survey data, since they lack the high
quality of a global field model like CHAOS. / Thesis (M.Sc.)-University of KwaZulu-Natal, Westville, 2011.
