This book presents the state-of-the-art of optical remote sensing applied for the generation of marine climate-quality data products, with contributions by international experts in the field. The chapters are logically grouped into six thematic parts, each introduced by a brief overview. The different parts include: i. requirements for the generation of climate data records from satellite ocean measurements and additionally basic radiometry principles addressing terminology, standards, measurement equation and uncertainties; ii. satellite visible and thermal infrared radiometry embracing instrument design, characterization and, pre- and post-launch calibration; iii. in situ visible and thermal infrared radiometry including overviews on basic principles, technology and measurements methods required to support satellite missions devoted to climate change investigations; iv. simulations as fundamental tools to support interpretation and analysis of both in situ and satellite radiometric measurements; v. strategies for in situ radiometry to satisfy mission requirements for the generation of climate data records; and finally, vi. methods for the assessment of satellite data products. Fundamentals of measurement theory are taken through to implementation of practical ground based radiometers and their application to validate satellite data used to generate climate data records. This book presents practical solutions for those involved or contemplating the validation of optical climate measurements from satellite instruments.
This book deals with the practice of Optical Radiation Measurements
with introductory material to introduce the topics discussed. It
will be most useful for students, scientists and engineers working
in any academic, industrial or governmental projects related to
optical radiation. The book contains chapters that treat in detail
the procedures and techniques for the characterization of both
sources and detectors to the highest degree of accuracy and
reliability. It has a chapter devoted specifically to optical
measurements of laser sources and fiberoptics for communication and
a chapter devoted to uncertainty in measurement and its treatment
with real examples of optical measurements. The book contains
introductory materials that will allow a newcomer to radiometry to
develop the expertise to perform exacting and accurate measurement.
The authors stress the various causes of uncertainty in each phase
of a measurement and thus allow for users to arrive at a correct
assessment of their uncertainty of measurement in their particular
circumstance.
