Influence of spectral sampling and wavelength calibration when comparing radiometry of two spectrometers for earth observation.

In 30 seconds

This work introduces the Absolute Radiometric Reference Instrument (ARRI) to provide centralized calibration for multiple Earth observation payloads. By acting as a shared reference, it eliminates the need for individual, bulky calibration units on every instrument. This reduces overall mission size and mass while maintaining high radiometric accuracy standards.
