Stray Light Characterization for MOBY

February 1, 2002
Author(s)
Bettye C. Johnson, Steven W. Brown, Keith R. Lykke, M Feinholz, M Yarbrough, S Flora, D K. Clark
The Marine Optical Spectrograpli (MOS) system is used as a down-welling irradiance and up-welling in-water radiance profiler in two configurations: as the sensor for the Marine Optical Buoy (MOBY) and as a mobile, sliipboard-deployable sensor. Both systems

Overview of the Radiometric Calibration of MOBY

January 1, 2002
Author(s)
D K. Clark, M Feinholz, M Yarbrough, B. Carol Johnson, Steven W. Brown, Y S. Kim, R Barnes
The Marine Optical Buoy (MOBY) provides values of water-leaving radiance for the calibration and validation of satellite ocean color instruments. Located in clear, deep ocean waters near the Hawaiian Island of Lanai, MOBY measures the upwelling radiance

A continuing series of field campaigns to Lunar Lake, Nevada, has been established for the development of ground-truth measurement protocols and assessment of measurement uncertainties for the ground-based calibration of on-orbit satellite sensors. In June

Noncontact Thermometry in the Optical Technology Division at NIST

March 1, 2001
Author(s)
Charles E. Gibson, Howard W. Yoon, Benjamin K. Tsai, Bettye C. Johnson, Robert D. Saunders
The Optical Technology Division (OTD) at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) maintains the thermodynamic temperature scale above the silver freezing point using spectral radiance ratios according to the International Temperature Scale

Radiometry: Sensing the World

February 1, 2001
Author(s)
Steven W. Brown, Bettye C. Johnson, Keith R. Lykke
Light is the supreme messenger. Light tells us something about the cosmos, the make-up of our bodies, and nearly everything in between. Light carries structural information, chemical information, and information on position and speed, as well as
