ATMOSPHERIC REMOTE SENSING: TEMPERATURE DATA ACCURACY EVALUATION OF RASS-WIND PROFILER SYSTEM
Abstract
The aim of this paper is to show the usefulness of a combined apparatus of RASS (Radio Acoustic Sounding System) and radiometer as an integrated sensor system in Remote Sensing field, especially in recovering atmosphere temperatures. Since these two systems work at different frequencies and conditions, it is interesting to see how they can be integrated according to data calibration instead of processing. A supervising unit that describes signal state in some of its conditions has been implemented, for a particular instant of time measured in clock pulse. It is useful to calibrate Rass- Wind Profiler data with radiometer and radiosonde ones. That is, to icrease the accuracy of recovered temperatures by Rass. Simulations and comparison with actual data have demonstrated that this kind of approach is necessary to fill limitations of one apparatus with respect to another.
