Airborne imaging spectrometer-2 - Radiometric spectral characteristics and comparison of ways to compensate for the atmosphereThe reduction of AIS data to spectral radiance utilizing the detector responsivity equations developed by a laboratory calibration of the instrument with a BaSO4-coated integrating sphere is described. Estimates of the signal-to-noise ratio for laboratory and flight conditions are obtained. In addition, the effective in-flight instrumental spectral sampling interval is estimated by using atmospheric CO2 absorption lines generated from LOWTRAN simulations.
