GRAZING INCIDENCE [5 records]

Record 1 2012-02-13

English

Subject field(s)
  • Space Exploration Equipment and Tools
  • Research Experiments in Space
CONT

SOL-ACES(Auto-calibrating Extreme Ultraviolet and Ultraviolet spectrometers) consists of four grazing incidence grating spectrometers. They are designed to measure the EUV/UV spectral regime(17 nanometers-220 nanometers) with moderate spectral resolution.

CONT

SOL-ACES: Experiment onboard the International Space Station. ... SOL-ACES is part of the solar and climate platform, which is oriented towards the sun. With this experiment it will be possible for the first time to record simultaneously the solar flow of radiation covering a range between the extreme ultraviolet (EUV) and the near-infrared portions of the wavelength range.

OBS

SOL-ACES (SOLar Auto-Calibrating Extreme UV/UV Spectrophotometers) ... is developed by [Fraunhofer Institute for Physical Measurement Techniques] IPM (Freiburg, Germany).

OBS

spectrometer ... If the instrument is designed to measure the spectrum in absolute units rather than relative units, then it is typically called a spectrophotometer. The majority of spectrophotometers are used in spectral regions near the visible spectrum.

OBS

auto-calibrating extreme ultraviolet and ultraviolet spectrometer; solar auto-calibrating EUV/UV spectrophotometer; SOL-ACES: terms and abbreviation officially approved by the International Space Station Terminology Approval Group (ISSTAG).

CONT

X-band(9. 5-10. 0 GHz) backscatter at near grazing incidence(0. 2 deg) from the sea off the coast of Kauai, Hawaii, was measured with a radar characterized by a high spatial resolution in range(0. 3 m) and a high temporal resolution(2000 Hz pulse repetition frequency(PRF].... Each type of clutter exhibited the characteristic spiky behavior which has come to be expected from microwave sea backscatter observed at low grazing angles and high range resolutions, while showing, between themselves, marked transmit geometry and polarization dependent contrasts, with the horizontally polarized clutter, measured with an UP transmit geometry, being especially notable for its frequently occurring, significant high frequency spectral content.
