ERRORS IN THE CALIBRATION OF RADIANCE RADIOMETERS,
Abstract
A procedure has been developed which can be used to correct for an error commonly encountered in the calibration of radiometers. If a radiometer designed for radiance determination is calibrated by means of a small source, loss of light due to imperfections in the optics can cause the radiometer to appear less sensitive than it actually is. Measurement of the angular response function provides a means for eliminating this error. (Author)
