EVALUATION OF THE AMAZON RAIN FOREST AS A DISTRIBUTED TARGET FOR SATELLITE MICROWAVE RADIOMETER CALIBRATION

EVALUATION OF THE AMAZON RAIN FOREST AS A DISTRIBUTED TARGET FOR SATELLITE MICROWAVE RADIOMETER CALIBRATION

For over three decades, satellite radars have used the Amazon tropical rain forest as a stable homogeneous and isotropic scattering target for calibration. This thesis extends previous work to consider the use of the Amazon as a blackbody target for passive microwave inter-satellite calibration. The...
