A Systematic Sensitivity Study on Surface Pixel Shifts in High Spatial Resolution Satellite Images Resulting from Atmospheric Refraction in the Sensor to Surface Ray Path

When viewing Earth’s surfaces from a low Earth orbiting (LEO) satellite platform with an optical sensor, the upward light propagation path from the ground to the satellite is affected by atmospheric refraction. For imaging sensors with a spatial resolution of about one km on the ground, atmospheric...
