About
Amit Angal is a leading expert in satellite radiometric calibration, with a primary focus on ensuring the long-term accuracy and consistency of Earth-observing sensors. His research centers on the cross-calibration of NASA’s Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) instruments aboard the Terra and Aqua spacecraft, which have provided critical, complementary data on land, ocean, and atmospheric processes for nearly two decades. His pivotal work, "Cross-Calibration of Terra and Aqua MODIS Using RadCalNet" (2020, 18 citations), demonstrates his role in harmonizing these two key datasets, enabling reliable climate-quality records. Angal has also made significant contributions to lunar calibration, developing SI-traceable models to stabilize sensor measurements over time. His recent paper, "Development of an Uncertainty Budget for a Disseminated Lunar Irradiance Scale Over the Visible to Near-Infrared Spectral Region" (2024, 3 citations), establishes a rigorous framework for using the Moon as a stable calibration target. Through these efforts, Angal has been instrumental in ensuring the integrity of decades-long satellite data records, directly supporting climate change studies and environmental monitoring.
