Determination of The Inflight Spectral Calibration of AVIRIS Using Atmospheric Absorption Features

Abstract

Both the surface and atmospheric characteistics were measured for a calibration target during an inflight calibration experiment held at Lunar Lake, Nevada on April 5, 1994 (Green, et al., 1995). This paper uses upwelling spectral radiance predicted for the calibration target with the MODTRAN radiative transfer code (Berk, et al., 1986) to validage the spectral calibration of AVIRIS inflight.
