Remote sensing calibration and standards
Abstract
Problems involved in the use of remote sensing techniques are considered. Errors in the measurement of wave parameters and errors in the interpretation of the wave/atmosphere interaction are discussed, and the impracticality of system calibration by direct comparison of new and old system measurements is explained. Advantages of meteorological towers for calibration of remote sensors are considered, and the possibility of intercomparison of remote sensors is suggested. Some present accuracies of remote sensors are reported.
