Data Compression in Remote Sounding

V. P. Yakovlev


Abstract: We compare the compression of digital data from high- and low-resolution satellite instruments. We show that entropy coding of separate measurements reduces the description by approximately one half; a similar reduction is additionally achieved by allowing for statistical dependence between neighboring measurements.
