Calibration and Characterization of Satellite‐Borne Microwave Sounders With the Moon
Abstract A major problem with calculating the uncertainties of measurements with weather satellites is the fact that a full characterization and calibration of their instruments can only be carried out before launch. The Moon, however, makes at least some of these activities possible in flight as we...
