SUMMARY:Verner Suomi’s Vision with a Spotlight on Benchmarking the E
 arth’s Climate from Space\, Physics Department Colloquium\, Hank Rev
 ercomb\, UW-Madison\, Space Science and Engineering Center
DESCRIPTION:The talk combines a summary of satellite observations for 
 weather and climate that have followed from the vision and pioneering 
 developments of UW Madison’s own “father of satellite meteorology\
 ,” Verner Suomi\, with a description of a new approach for benchmark
 ing the Earth’s climate from space.  The second half features the Ab
 solute Radiance Interferometer (ARI) instrument\, developed to provide
  benchmark measurements of Earth emitted radiance (3-50 microns) with 
 a brightness temperature accuracy of 0.1 K (3-sigma).  The key feature
  of ARI is the new approach it employs for on-orbit accuracy verificat
 ion.  Along the way\, you will be introduced to the UW Space Science a
 nd Engineering Center\, a Graduate School center co-founded by Verner 
 Suomi that is part of his vision.
