About
Jeffrey S. Czapla-Myers is a leading expert in the vicarious calibration of Earth-observing remote sensing instruments, with a focus on ensuring the radiometric accuracy of both airborne and satellite sensors. As a key member of the Remote Sensing Group (RSG) at the University of Arizona, his major contributions center on the development and deployment of ground-based calibration systems, most notably the Radiometric Calibration Test Site (RadCaTS). His work on the Ground Viewing Radiometer (GVR) program, detailed in a 2013 paper with 19 citations, established a robust, field-deployable method for in-flight radiometric calibration using well-characterized Earth targets. Czapla-Myers has also played a pivotal role in high-impact campaigns like FIREX-AQ, where his 2021 paper (29 citations) demonstrated the vicarious calibration of advanced sensors such as eMAS, AirMSPI, and AVIRIS. His research directly supports the validation of NASA’s Earth Science missions, providing the critical link between laboratory standards and on-orbit sensor performance. With a career dedicated to improving the accuracy of climate and environmental data, Czapla-Myers’ work underpins the reliability of global remote sensing measurements.
