Download or read book The 60 GHz Radiometric Local Vertical Sensor Experiment written by C. H. Grauling (Jr) and published by . This book was released on 1973 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The experiment concept involves the use of millimeter wave radiation the atmospheric oxygen to provide vertical sensing information to a satellite-borne radiometer. The radiance profile studies require the calculation of ray brightness temperature as a function of tangential altitude and atmosphere model, and the computer program developed for this purpose is discussed. Detailed calculations have been made for a total of 12 atmosphere models, including some showing severe warning conditions. The experiment system analysis investigates the effect of various design choices on system behavior. Calculated temperature profiles are presented for a wide variety of frequencies, bandwidths, and atmosphere models. System performance is determined by the convolution of the brightness temperature and an assumed antenna pattern. A compensation scheme to account for different plateau temperatures is developed and demonstrated. The millimeter wave components developed for the local vertical sensor are discussed, with emphasis on the antenna, low noise mixer, and solid state local oscillator. It was concluded that a viable sensing technique exists, useful over a wide range of altitude with an accuracy generally on the order of 0.01 degree or better.

This book was released on 1971 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The feasibility of a microwave vertical sensor depends on the uniformity of the radiometric temperature of the earth's O2 mantle at some operating frequency in the 60-GHz(5-mm wavelength) range. The essential properties of passive vertical sensors are examined. The characteristics of the 5 mm O2-band emission from the earth's atmosphere are analyzed. The potential accuracy of a 60 GHz O2-band vertical sensor is determined, considering both instrumental and O2 mantle uniformity limitations. To take the data required to evaluate the O2 mantle uniformity, a downward-looking radiometric instrument operating at 60.80 GHz was designed and built by Ewen-Knight Corporation. The design of the instrument is analyzed from the atmospheric physics and the instrument engineering viewpoints. The instrument, designated Experiment CRLF 739, was accepted for flight aboard the OAR satellite OV1-86; the details of interfacing the instrument with OV1-86 are discussed. (Author).

Book excerpt: "Phenomics" is an emerging area of research whose aspiration is the systematic measurement of the physical, physiological and biochemical traits (the phenome) belonging to a given individual or collection of individuals. Non-destructive or minimally invasive techniques allow repeated measurements across time to follow phenotypes as a function of developmental time. These longitudinal traits promise new insights into the ways in which crops respond to their environment including how they are managed. To maximize the benefit, these approaches should ideally be scalable so that large populations in multiple environments can be sampled repeatedly at reasonable cost. Thus, the development and validation of non-contact sensing technologies remains an area of intensive activity that ranges from Remote Sensing of crops within the landscape to high resolution at the subcellular level. Integration of this potentially highly dimensional data and linking it with variation at the genetic level is an ongoing challenge that promises to release the potential of both established and under-exploited crops.

This book was released on 1993-03-22 with total page 600 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A rapidly growing area, remote sensing is crucial to the effort of modeling the earth's atmosphere and collecting such fundamental data as temperature, winds, pressures, water vapor distribution, clouds and other active constituents. This information enables us to test existing models of the atmosphere's energy balance, depletion of the ozone layer, climatic trends and other essential environmental data. Also discussed is the application of microwave remote sensing techniques to the atmospheres of planets other than the earth.
