Abstract

Cross-scanning satellite radiometers such as AVHRR/2 look over the underlying surface at different viewing angles, θ_v. The algorithms for retrieval of the surface and atmospheric parameters should overtly account for θ_v to provide the result independent of the variable observation geometry. The authors propose a statistical procedure which allows one to check whether or not the last one is the case. It is used to test the NOAA/AVHRR Multi-Channel Sea Surface Temperature MCSST
