Visible Channel Long Term Drift Analysis Using Desert Targets
Visible Channel Long Term Drift Analysis Using Desert Targets. The stability of AATSR visible channel calibrations have been measured using data from stable desert targets. The calibration drift rates obtained from the time-series are less than 3.5% per year and comparable to those measured for ATSR-2. Application of the drift correction to AATSR L1B images is discussed.

Towards More Efficient Use of Radar-Altimeter Data
Twenty years ago, experimental altimeters on NASA's Skylab and Geos-3 were already demonstrating the potential of such instrumentation. This led in turn to the development and launch by NASA in July 1978 of the Seasat oceanographic satellite mission. Both Geos-3 and Seasat were very successful in their pioneering missions, but were limited somewhat by poor coverage in the case of Geos-3 and an abnormally short mission duration in Seasat's case.
