Maintaining calibration of long term satellite monitoring devices as performed on the ozone sensing BUV instruments
Abstract
Several potential calibration updating techniques for satellite-borne instruments for monitoring the stratosphere are reviewed. The Nimbus 4 BUV instrument was checked against an Atmosphere Explorer 5 BUV launched in November 1975. The problems encountered in this exercise are discussed and generalized to establish an initial checklist for future calibration experiments of satellite sensors using Shuttle-borne sensors.
