    blue right-pointing arrow EOS Calibration Program Homepage - In EOS, calibration is the set of operations or processes used to determine the relationship between satellite instrument output values (i.e. voltages or counts) and corresponding known values of a standard, expressed in Systeme Internationale (SI) units. Characterization is the set of operations or processes used to quantitatively understand the operation of an instrument and its response as a function of the gamut of operating and viewing conditions experienced by the instrument on-orbit. The complete calibration of an EOS instrument requires and implies that the instrument be well-characterized. EOS instrument calibration and characterization is performed both pre-flight and on-orbit.  [keywords: EOS, Calibration] (Added: 23-May-1999 Hits: 912)  [Spider Link]
    blue right-pointing arrow EOS Validation Program Homepage - The goal of the EOS Validation Program is the comprehensive assessment of all EOS science data products. The EOS Instrument Science Teams are responsible for algorithm validation and specification of the uncertainties in the high-level geophysical quantities derived from calibrated instrument measurables. Guidelines, policies, coordination, and the review process for EOS-wide validation activities are the responsibility of the EOS Validation Scientist within the EOS Project Science Office. Pre-launch activities include development and verification of algorithms and characterization of uncertainties resulting from parameterizations and their algorithmic implementation. Post-launch activities include refinement of algorithms and uncertainty estimates based on near-direct comparisons with correlative measurements and selected, controlled analyses or application implementations.  [keywords: EOS, Validation] (Added: 23-May-1999 Hits: 929)  [Spider Link]
