Abstract

MOS-B data corrected by standard calibration procedures are affected by striping in most channels. Striping arises because of the not perfect equalisation of the CCD array. The authors present a post-launch calibration method based on images of homogeneous targets. They focus on the results obtained on sea target images; such a case study is of great interest because it is related to ocean colour applications for which the MOS-B sensor was especially designed
