Author(s)
F Sakuma, H Sakate, Graham Machin, J Fischer, Charles E. Gibson, B. Carol Johnson
Round-robin measurements with a transfer-standard radiation thermometer were organized by the National Research Laboratory of Metrology NRLM with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), National Physical Laboratory (NPL), IMGC (Institute

The Fifth SeaWiFS Intercalibration Round-Robin Experiment (SIRREX-S), July 1996

October 1, 1999
Author(s)
Bettye C. Johnson, Howard W. Yoon, Sally S. Bruce, Ping-Shine Shaw, E A. Thompson, S B. Hooker, R Barnes, R Eplee, S Maritorena, J Mueller
This report documents the fifth Sea-viewing Wide Field-of-view Sensor (SeaWiFS) Intercalibration Round-Robin experiment (SIRREX-5), which was held at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) on 23 July to 30 July 1996. The agenda for

Radiometric Measurement Comparisons Using Transfer Radiometers in Support of the Calibration of NASA's Earth Observing System (EOS) Sensors

September 1, 1999
Author(s)
James J. Butler, B. Carol Johnson, Steven W. Brown, Howard Yoon, R Barnes, B L. Markham, S F. Biggar, E F. Zalewski, P R. Spyak, J W. Cooper, F Sakuma
EOS satellite instruments operating in the visible through the shortwave infrared wavelength regions (from 0.4 um to 2.5 um) are calibrated prior to flight for radiance using integrating spheres at a number of instrument builder facilities. The

Vacuum Processing Technique for Development of Primary Standard Blackbodies

June 1, 1999
Author(s)
Magdalena Navarro, Sally Bruce, B. Carol Johnson, A V. Murthy, Robert D. Saunders
Blackbody sources with nearly unity emittance that are in equilibrium with a pure freezing metal such as gold, silver, or copper are used as primary standard sources in the International Temperature Scale of 1990 (ITS-90). Recently, a facility using radio

Volume 4, The 1997 Prelaunch Radiometric Calibration of Sea WiFS

April 1, 1999
Author(s)
Bettye C. Johnson, Howard W. Yoon, Sally S. Bruce, Ping-Shine Shaw, E A. Thompson, S B. Hooker, R Eplee, R Barnes, S Maritorena, J Mueller
The Sea-viewing Side Field-of-view Sensor (SeaWiFS) was originally calibrated by the instrument's manufacturer, Santa Barbara Research Center (SBRC), in November 1993. In preparation for an August 1997 launch, the Sea WiFS Project and the National

A 400 nm to 2500 nm Absolute Spectral Radiance Comparison Using Filter Radiometers

October 1, 1998
Author(s)
Howard W. Yoon, Bettye C. Johnson, D Kelch, S F. Biggar, P R. Spyak
An integrating sphere source developed by MTL Systems, Inc. was calibrated for them by a commercial standards laboratory traceable to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), resulting in values of spectral radiance in the 400 nm to 2500

Evaluation of Uncertainties in Fundamental Radiometric Measurements

October 1, 1998
Author(s)
Benjamin K. Tsai, Bettye C. Johnson
The uncertainty of measurements is critical in furthering the development of radiometric science and acquiring an increased understanding of its principles. Proper analysis of measurement uncertainties provides an indication of how well the measurements

Initial Results of the Bidirectional Reflectance Characterization Round-Robin in Support of EOS

October 1, 1998
Author(s)
Bettye C. Johnson, P Y. Barnes, Thomas R. O'Brian, James J. Butler, C J. Bruegge, S F. Biggar, P R. Spyak, M M. Pavlov
Laboratory measurements of the bidirecitonal reflectance distribution function (BRDF) of diffusely reflecting samples are required to support calibration in the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's (NASA's) Earth Observing System (EOS) program

Short-Term Stability Measurements of a Germanium Plotodiode Radiometer

October 1, 1998
Author(s)
G Andor, Bettye C. Johnson
This paper describes a general stability measurement method for the short term stability, or repeatability, for radiometers using fixed-point blackbodies [BBs] as radiation sources. A germanium photodiode was used for the detector in the radiometer. The
