Edi-on3Studies1. Gain Adjustments

Incorporate all known changes in gain and other calibration coefficients for each instrument based on the on-board calibration results.

2. Beginning of Mission Spectral Response Functions

Reassess the ground calibration data and determine the spectral response function for the Shortwave and the Total sensors.

3. Set the CERES instruments on the same radiometric scale at mission start

Develop the methodology to place all CERES instruments on the same rad. scale.

4. Determine optimal Spectral Response Function to correct for the on-orbit degradation in Shortwave region

Direct comparison approach is used to correct the change in the SW sensors.

Regression on the Day-Night differences of Longwave and Window measurements on each instrument is used to correct for the degradation in the shortwave region of total sensor.
