Vicarious Calibrations of GOES Imager Visible Channels
, 2014 Due to the lack of on-board calibration systems, vicarious calibration is the only way to provide accurate radiometric data for the GOES Imager visible channel. Even with the onboard calibration devices for future GEO satellite instruments such as GOES-R Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI), vicarious calibration will continue to play an important role to ...

The Characterization of Deep Convective Cloud Albedo as a Calibration Target Using MODIS Reflectances [PDF]
, 2010 There are over 25 years of historical satellite data available to climate analysis. The historical satellite data needs to be well calibrated, especially in the visible, where there is no onboard calibration on operational satellites.

Cross Calibration of SeaWiFS and MODIS Using On-Orbit Observations of the Moon [PDF]
Observations of the Moon provide a primary technique for the on-orbit cross calibration of Earth remote sensing instruments. Monthly lunar observations are major components of the on-orbit calibration strategies of SeaWiFS and MODIS.

Enhancements to the Open Access Spectral Band Adjustment Factor Online Calculation Tool for Visible Channels [PDF]
With close to 40 years of satellite observations, from which, cloud, land-use, and aerosol parameters can be measured, inter-consistent calibrations are needed to normalize retrievals across satellite records.
