Number and volume concentration of scattering particles; as well as their optical size are also included. \r\n\r\nBlack carbon is an important component of atmospheric aerosol and is a strong absorber of solar radiation.

This design has, among other things, enabled the accurate measurement of sea surface temperature to an accuracy of +/- 0.3K.\r\n\r\nThe ATSR1 instrument has four channels at wavelengths of 1.6um (visible) and three thermal bands at 3.7um, 11um, and 12um.\r\n\r\nThe ATSR instruments are novel in that they incorporate 2 views into each swath scan. Satellite measurements of the temperature of the surface of the Earth are inevitably affected by the passage of the radiation through the atmosphere. The dual view design of ATSR makes it possible to estimate and correct for these atmospheric effects. The two views result from the instrument's conical scanning mechanism. Each scan takes readings from the nadir position and then sweeps round to take measurements from a point about 900Km along the satellite's track. A few minutes after acquiring the forward view, the satellite passes over the same spot and takes readings for the nadir view. As the two views of the same scene are taken through different atmospheric path lengths, it is possible to calculate a correction for the effect of atmospheric absorption.\r\n\r\nThe ATSR instruments are also self calibrating. Rather than relying on pre launch calibration, the ATSR instrument has two on-board black bodies at known temperatures. Radiation from these is measured during each scan and used to provide a continuous re-calibration of the instrument. This makes it possible to determine single channel equivalent temperatures correct to +/- 0.05K." }, "relatedTo": { "ob_id": 41634, "uuid": "0a6841f065614070a8fd2a4c70c59c3b", "short_code": "acq", "title": "Acquisition Process for: ATSR-1 Average Surface Temperature (AST) Product (AT1_AR__2P) v3.0.1", "abstract": "This acquisition is comprised of the following: INSTRUMENTS: ERS1 ATSR1; PLATFORMS: ERS-1;" } } ] }, { "ob_id": 41649, "uuid": "40cd29ca020c4f0b84802a6a4d299b1c", "short_code": "acq", "title": "Aquisition for the ESA CCI Sea Surface Temperature CDR v3 SLSTR datasets", "abstract": "The ESA CCI Sea Surface Temperature CDR v3 SLSTR datasets are derived from the SLSTR instrument on the Sentinel 3A and 3B satellites.", "imageDetails": [], "mobilePlatformOperation": [], "independentInstrument": [], "instrumentplatformpair_set": [ { "ob_id": 13915, "platform": { "ob_id": 19017, "uuid": "f1fb7621240a45e895acdc686959b516", "short_code": "plat", "title": "Sentinel 3A", "abstract": "Sentinel 3A was launched by the European Space Agency (ESA) to become the third part of the Sentinel series.
