An important element in the calibration plan for the Aquarius radiometers is to look at the cold sky. This involves rotating the satellite 180° from its nominal Earth viewing configuration to point the main beams at the celestial sky. At L-band, the cold sky provides a stable, well-characterized scene to be used as a calibration reference. This paper describes the cold sky calibration for Aquarius... |
