Whatever the weather in Europe, EUMETSAT’s meteorological satellites will be observing it. The good news for researchers, climate modellers, and amateur meteorologists is that the data they produce are freely available for non-commercial or research purposes. You can even set up your own reception station.

The Calibration and Validation Program for the National Polar-Orbiting Operational Environmental Satellite System Preparatory Project (NPP)

KGermain — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 04:01:34 +0000

The National Polar-orbiting Operational Satellite System (NPOESS) program will launch its second risk reduction mission, the NPOESS Preparatory Project (NPP) in 2011. NPP is collaboration between the NPOESS program (for risk reduction) and the NASA’s Earth Science program (for continuity of earth science measurements). The NPP sensors will measure 24 environmental data products, and require a comprehensive pre- and post-launch Calibration and Validation program to ensure sensor and data product performance. This paper describes a comprehensive approach to the NPOESS Calibration and Validation program, based on lessons learned over two decades of experience in both operational and science remote sensing.
