Calibration, optical/infrared passive sensors

Abstract

There is an increasing demand for higher accuracy calibration. This is driven by the desire to have long-term data records that span multiple satellite programs. In an effort to establish best practices and minimize sensor-to-sensor biases, many international working groups and national standard laboratories are in collaboration. Information on the Committee on Earth Observation Satellites (CEOS) calibration/validation group can be obtained at http://wgcv.ceos.org/.
