Techniques for Processing VTPR Side-Scan Radiances Including Diagnosis for the Clear-Column Radiance Components.
Abstract
Phase Two of the development of techniques for operational exploitation of satellite-observed sounding data for resolution of atmospheric thermal structure variabilities. Full side-to-side scans of measured multi-channel radiances are processed and examined for characteristics of cloud contamination. A general scheme is developed for diagnosis of the clear-column radiance components of a scan. The structure blending scheme developed under Phase One is also demonstrated as a general retrieval capability. Both schemes are applications of the Fields by Information Blending (FIB) methodology in which information elements, weighted for independent worth, are blended into the non-independent resultants implied by the focus of all input information.
