Title
Aquarius L-band Radiometers Calibration Using Cold Sky Observations.
Abstract
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...
