Abstract

Initial calibration efforts for the visible channels of the AVHRR satellites are being carried out at the University of Hawaii. These include satellite measurements of strong aerosol signals with little ocean reflection (the volcano plume with light winds), strong ocean reflection with little aerosol scatter (clean Sun glint cases) and cases of low ocean reflection and low aerosol scatter (clean cases). The various types of conditions are measured from aircraft. Sensors include a multiwavelength CCD, a spectrometer and a radiometric sensor
