Abstract

This paper reports the bandpass solar exoatmospheric irradiance and Rayleigh optical thickness for six categories of sensors, namely, the linear imaging self scanning sensor (LISS)-I, -II, -III, the wide field sensor (WiFS), the panchromatic (PAN), and the ocean color monitor (OCM) which have been flown on Indian Remote Sensing Satellites (IRS)-1B, -1C, -1D, and -P4 platforms, based on laboratory measurements of relative spectral response (RSR) of each band. These estimates have been compared with similar contemporary international sensors
