{"Image DocumentName": "Calibration of Active Remote Sensing Measurements", "Image ImageDescription": "C active remote sensing system constant. M(R) range dependent measurement geometry. B(R) target characteristics. T(R) transmission term (attenuation) AMS Glossary of Meteorology: The process whereby the magnitude of the output of a measuring instrument (e.g., the level of mercury in a thermometer or the detected backscatter power of a meteorological radar) is related to the magnitude of the input force (e.g., the temperature or radar reflectivity) actuating that instrument. For the calibration of a radar / lidar measurement (output: mean received power), we need to know. - the range dependent measurement geometry (range normalisation, easy and accurate) - the active remote sensing system constant \u2219 can be determined analytically using the system specifications, however for an accurate calibration, extensive measurements of the system are needed \u2219 because it can vary e.g. due to aging of hardware components, hardware changes it needs to be constantly monitored.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
