MISR calibration activities and results

MISR calibration data files

This link goes to a summary page for the Ancillary Radiometric Product (ARP). The ARP is a file which contains MISR calibration coefficients. These are published for a specific time period, as the instrument is known to degrade with time. This page will discuss the algorithm modifications that have been used to process MISR on-board calibrator (OBC) data, a summary of the instrument degradation with time, and a summary of the calibration coefficients. Specifically, the channel mean coefficients are given for each ARP.
