Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book carefully evaluates the reliability of infrared detectors for use in meteorological satellites. The detectors are made of mercury cadmium telluride and have been used to improve weather forecasting, wind measurements, and sea surface thermal data. The author's analysis focuses on the degradation and instability of these detectors over time, using data collected by the supplier, infrared sensor programs, and a detector degradation task force. The text presents both qualitative and statistical analyses and examines possible mechanisms for the observed degradation, including poor workmanship, incomplete passivation procedures, excess mercury diffusion, and delamination of the optical coating. The insights provided by this book are crucial for ensuring the reliability of future meteorological satellite systems.
