l1bqa_changes.pdf
|
Experience with on-orbit AIRS data prompted the AIRS Calibration Team to alter some AIRS
L1B algorithms (e.g. AutomaticQAFlag, DC Restore, pop detection, Moon-in-view, offset,
noise estimation and gain). A brief AIRS Design File Memo describing these changes are available.

Clear_Flags.pdf
|
Please note that the clear FOV detection algorithms are currently under development.
There are several different clear detection algorithms being refined. They employ different
algorithms depending upon their spatial resolution and spectral regime. Definitions of many
of the clear flags and the thresholds that control them may be found in this document.
