Abstract :
This paper describes the correction of the size of source effect and the distance effect of the three transfer standard radiometers used for the preflight cross-calibration experiment between the GOSAT and the OCO for monitoring the density distributions of greenhouse gases from space. The correction was less than 1 %.
