A calibration model for a stellar photometer using a SEC vidicon.

Description of a SEC vidicon response model that was used to calculate intensities of stars in the ultraviolet. The tube was used only as a stellar filter photometer. The model proposed is applicable for point sources. Experiments with both curve- or surface-fitting techniques and with extrapolation-interpolation procedures were conducted. The curve-fitting techniques were not successful, and the target gain was calculated with the aid of interpolation techniques.

SMMR Simulator radiative transfer calibration model. 2: Algorithm development

Passive microwave measurements performed from Earth orbit can be used to provide global data on a wide range of geophysical and meteorological phenomena. A Scanning Multichannel Microwave Radiometer (SMMR) is being flown on the Nimbus-G satellite. The SMMR Simulator duplicates the frequency bands utilized in the spacecraft instruments through an amalgamate of radiometer systems. The algorithm developed utilizes data from the fall 1978 NASA CV-990 Nimbus-G underflight test series and subsequent laboratory testing.
