An international team of remote sensing calibration experts, representing space agencies from 10 different countries, conducted a two week field campaign at Tuz Golu, Turkey in August, 2010 sponsored by the Committee on Earth Observation Satellites (CEOS). While the campaign focused on surface reflectance factor measurement, five specific CEOS objectives were being addressed: evaluating differences in field instrument primary calibrations, evaluating difference in field characterization methodologies and possible establishment of best practices, perform a multi-sensor absolute calibration comparison, identification of minimum and ideal instrumentation / characterization for use as a reference standard, and formal characterization of the Tuz Golu absolute calibration site. This paper will focus on the latter component. An evaluation of the temporal, spatial and directional dependencies of the surface reflectance of the Tuz Golu salt flat will be presented. Also, an evaluation of the optical atmospheric stability of the site was conducted.

Satellite orbit estimation using kalman filters İpek, Mehmet; Orguner, Umut; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2017) In this thesis, satellite orbit determination problem is investigated using various types of Kalman filters based on several ground and space based measurement types. First, the performance of the Gauss' method for initial orbit determination is evaluated and the measurement time separation values required for it to give sufficiently good estimates are determined. Second, filter initialization methods based on a few measurements are proposed for angles only (AE), angles and range (AER), angles and Doppler (...
Calibration and Evaluation of WRF-Hydro Modeling System for Extreme Runoff Simulations: Use of High-Resolution Sea Surface Temperature (SST) Data Kılıçarslan, Berina Mina; Yücel, İsmail; Department of Civil Engineering (2022-2) This study investigates the impact of the spatio-temporal accuracy of four different sea surface temperature (SST) datasets on the accuracy of the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF)-Hydro system to simulate hydrological response during two catastrophic flood events over the Eastern Black Sea (EBS) and the Mediterranean (MED) regions of Turkey. Three daily-updated and high spatial resolution external SST products (GHRSST, Medspiration, and NCEP-SST) and one coarse-resolution and time-invariant SST produc...
Orbit determination strategy and verification for geosynchronous satellites Köker, Abdulkadir; Tekinalp, Ozan; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2019) In this thesis, the batch and sequential orbit determination procedures for the geostationary satellites are presented. The aim of the study is to investigate the effect of the angle only and standard angle-range measurements on orbit determination accuracy. The effect of various factors on estimation accuracy such as measurement frequency, observation duration, and number of observation sites are investigated using the simulated measurement data. Estimation methods namely, nonlinear least square, extended ...
Experimental and computational evaluation of transient behavior of a typical satellite monopropellant propulsion system Çilli Tarçın, Ayşegül; Aksel, Mehmet Haluk; Ak, Mehmet Ali; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2014) In this study, a typical satellite monopropellant propulsion system is numerically modeled by using a commercial software and analyses are conducted regarding the priming operation of satellite propulsion system. Analyses are performed for different tank pressures, downstream line pressures, distance between the tank and orifice, distance between the orifice and latch valve, distance between the latch valve and exit valve, orifice diameter and pipe diameters. Moreover, a test setup is constructed and tests ...
Forecasting of ionospheric electron density trough for characterization of aerospace medium Kocabaş, Zeynep; Tulunay, Yurdanur; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2009) Modeling the ionosphere, where the effects of solar dynamo becomes more effective to space based and ground borne activities, has an undeniable importance for telecommunication and navigation purposes. Mid-latitude electron density trough is an interesting phenomenon in characterizing the behavior of the ionosphere, especially during disturbed conditions. Modeling the mid-latitude electron density trough is a very popular research subject which has been studied by several researchers until now. In this work...
