摘要: Radiometric calibration algorithms for processing Seasat scanning multichannel microwave radiometer (SMMR) flight data are presented. An equation is derived which accounts losses and reradiation in the components nonlinearities radiometer. The application of pre-launch to this derivation described. A performance evaluation post-launch operation algorithm presented, indicating temperature resolution 0.63 K at 6.6 GHz 1.39 37 GHz.
