Why is it important?
This paper recommends the inclusion of deserts as a new distributed external earth surface for inter-satellite radiometric calibration.
Perspectives
The current options for the use of earth surfaces as microwave radiometric calibration targets is limited to oceans and tropical rain forests. This paper suggest using deserts and a new source, which will expand the geographic locations for inter-satellite radiometric calibration.
