Absolute radiometric calibration of the NOAA AVHRR sensors

Three different approaches to the absolute radiometric calibration of the two reflective channels of the NOAA AVHRR sensors are presented. The first method involves ground and atmospheric measurements and reference to another calibrated satellite sensor. The second involves ground and atmospheric measurements with no reference to another sensor, while the third method involves no ground and atmospheric measurements but reference to another sensor. NOAA-9 and NOAA-10 AVHRR data sets are presented.
