Definitions of Attributes for Limb-Scanning or Limb-Imaging Remote Sensing Systems.
Abstract
This document presents definitions of parameters related to observations of the upper atmosphere by ultraviolet remote sensing systems which image or scan the limb of the earth. These parameters or 'attributes' form the basis for organizing databases and accessing data through database management systems. The emphasis here is on attributes that characterize the attitude and ephemeris of the platform carrying the instruments as data are gathered. The presentation covers various coordinate systems and provides mathematical formulas for geometric parameters related to limb-scanning systems.
