40 YEARS OF WORLD-LEADING SERVICE

DRONFIELD, ENGLAND, – -The Calibration Laboratory of Land Instruments International, the first thermal measurement laboratory to receive British Calibration Service (BCS) certification, celebrated its 40th anniversary on July 23, 2010.

Initially established in 1970 to satisfy customer requirements for accurate temperature calibration, the Land Calibration Laboratory was the first accredited by the BCS (now the United Kingdom Accreditation Service-UKAS) to issue calibration certificates in the field of thermal measurements. continue reading »

Unveiled at climate meeting

CHICAGO IL USA — A new way to use satellite instruments to get reliable surface temperatures over most of the world’s land area was presented May 18th, at the Fourth International Conference on Climate Change in Chicago.

The new technique developed by Dr. Roy Spencer and Dr. Danny Braswell, both research scientists in the Earth System Science Center at The University of Alabama in Huntsville, uses microwave sensors on NOAA and NASA satellites to collect surface temperature data over virtually all of Earth’s land area. continue reading »
