Abstract: Radio-frequency interference (RFI) is an increasing problem particularly for Earth observation using microwave radiometry. RFI has been observed, for example, at L-band by the European Space ...

On Jan. 31, 1958, Explorer 1 became the first satellite launched by the United States. Its primary science instrument, a ...

Abstract: Microwave radiometry has provided valuable spaceborne observations of Earth's geophysical properties for decades. The recent SMOS, Aquarius, and SMAP satellites have demonstrated the value ...

It's been a tough time for sunscreens recently. Earlier this year, testing on behalf of consumer organization Choicefound several sunscreens were not delivering the sun protection you'd expect. One ...

Infrared (IR) imaging radiometry is the science of using an IR camera to measure the amount of IR radiation from a target in a scene. Every pixel in the image formed by a radiometrically calibrated ...

In cooperation with researchers and metrologists from around the world, the University of Colorado Boulder will present a short course consisting of lectures and hands-on lab interaction.

A new way to identify salts in nuclear waste melters could help improve clean-up technology, including at the Hanford Site, one of the largest, most complex nuclear waste clean-up sites in the world.

Strict quality control is essential to ensure that the satellite data products routinely used for environmental monitoring of water and land surfaces are fit for purpose. A crucial step in this ...

Ocean colour is defined as spectral variations in water leaving radiance, or reflectance, in visible bands of the electromagnetic spectrum. A primary application of ocean-colour data is to observe the ...
