Based on absolute radiometric calibration studies conducted in 2008 and 2009 using ground measurements and satellite image data, Tuz Golu, a salt lake in Central Turkey, was internationally acknowledged as an official CEOS cal/val test site. In particular, spatial uniformity and temporal stability are important qualities that are required of calibration test sites, as the homogeneity of the area effects site selection and the usability of test areas. In this study, the question of how to select a calibration test site in the lake that is the most homogenous and minimizes the number of ground sampling measurements is examined. The performance of Getis statistics in site selection is analyzed and it is observed that Getis statistics are not a good choice for uniformity analysis. Based on a power spectrum analysis of images, the error in continuous interpolation of in situ measurements was evaluated. However, further work is necessary to determine the actual error levels.

Investigation of the dependence of satellite-based precipitation estimate errors to distance from the coastline Uydu Kaynakli Yaǧmur Verilerinin Hata Oranlarinin Deniz Kiyilarina Olan Uzakliǧa Baǧli Analizi YILMAZ, MERİÇ; Amjad, Muhammad; Bulut, Burak; Yılmaz, Mustafa Tuğrul (2017-01-01) In this study, Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) 3B42 v7 satellite based rainfall data are verified by using cumulative monthly rainfall data measured at 257 stations operated by the General Directorate of Meteorology between 1998 and 2014. Long-term mean values of station-based and satellite-based rainfall data, correlation between them, Standard deviation of monthly average and anomaly components, and standard deviation of satellite based data error are analyzed. Variation of satellite-based data...
Evaluation of SeaWiFS chlorophyll-a in the Black and Mediterranean seas Sancak, S; Besiktepe, ST; Yılmaz, Ayşen; Lee, M; Frouin, R (Informa UK Limited, 2005-05-20) The performance of NASA's OC2 and OC4 algorithms to estimate chlorophyll-a concentrations from SeaWiFS radiometric measurements on the global scale was tested in two contrasted bio-optical environments, the Black Sea and the Mediterranean Sea. The in situ bio-optical measurements were made during October 1999 at 25 stations. Comparisons of the in situ measurements with the concurrent SeaWiFS retrievals indicate that the OC2 and OC4 algorithms are not working satisfactorily in both seas. Case 2 waters domina...
Determination of sea level trends and vertical land motions from satellite altimetry and tide gauge observations at the Mediterranean Coast of Turkey Karabil, Sıtar; Karslıoğlu, Mahmut Onur; Demir, Coşkun; Department of Geodetic and Geographical Information Technologies (2011) A radar altimetry satellite measures the height of sea surface globally. However, tide gauges, measuring Sea Level Height (SLH), are set up on the Earth surface. Hence, SLHs are involved in vertical motion of the Earth crust. In this study, vertical motions of Earth crust have been separated from sea level variations. After clustering of SSH observations with K-means approach, two outlier detection methods Pope and Interquartile (IQR) Tests are implemented in data. Afterwards, each altimetry measurement is ...
Tuz gölü :new absolute radiometric calibration test site Gurol, Selime; Ozen, Hilal; Leloğlu, Uğur Murat; Tunalı, Erol (null; 2008-07-11) Calibration, absolute radiometric calibration in specific, is an important process for continuity and reliability of optical satellite data, since it puts the data on a standard scale and makes it compatible and comparable with the data acquired from different sensors. Therefore, the importance of performing a calibration campaign increased significantly. Being aware of this significance, TUBITAK UZAY (Space Technologies Research Institute, The Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey), by ta...
Evaluating the solar resource potential on different tracking surfaces in Nigeria Okoye, Chiemeka Onyeka; Bahrami, Arian; Atikol, Ugur (2018-01-01) In this study, the available solar potential of some selected locations in Nigeria on an inclined, single-axis (considering 6 tracking orientations) and dual-axis tracking surfaces are assessed using hourly radiation data. More accurate and widely validated Perez anisotropic and Koronakis isotropic models are adopted in the estimation of the diffuse component of the radiation on an inclined surface before integrating trackers. The method utilized in the simulation are compared and verified by the result fro...
