Scanning Infrared Sea surface Temperature Radiometer (SISTeR)
Abstract
The Scanning Infrared Sea surface Temperature Radiometer (SISTeR), developed at Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, is a self-calibrating filter radiometer for the in situ measurement of skin SST, that has been used to validate the radiometers ATSR-1, ATSR-2, AATSR and SLSTR which were on-board ERS-1, ERS-2 ENVISAT and Sentinel-3 respectively. The self-calibration involves the use of two internal reference blackbodies. The filters used are 3.7 microns, 10.8 microns and 12.0 microns. The instrument has been deployed on MS Color Festival (2006), MS Prinsessa Ragnhild (2008), and RMS Queen Mary 2 (2010-present).
