Definition of Fiducial Reference Measurement Sample Clauses

Definition of Fiducial Reference Measurement. Within the current document we use the definition of Fiducial Reference Measurement provided by preface p xiii of [1], adapted from the original idea of [13] for Sea Surface Temperature measurements and [15] for optical radiometry in a climate change context, whereby the defining mandatory characteristics of a “Fiducial Reference Measurement (FRM)” are: The FRM must: • have documented traceability to SI units (via an unbroken chain of calibrations and comparisons); • be accompanied by a complete estimate of uncertainty, including contributions from all FRM instruments and all data acquisition and processing steps2; • follow well-defined protocols/community-wide management practices; • be openly available for independent scrutiny and; • be independent from the satellite retrieval process; Of these five characteristics, the second (uncertainty estimation) is the most demanding and receives most attention in the current document. The fifth characteristic (independence from the satellite retrieval process) is primarily a warning that the use of measurements for satellite validation should avoid measurements that have already been used in the satellite retrieval process, i.e. for vicarious calibration. As such, this characteristic is not intrinsic to the measurement itself but depends on how/if it is used and so is not relevant to the current document.
