Post calibration of AVHRR data based on SeaWiFS data and pseudo-invariant targets
SeaWiFS data are applied in characterizing the BRDF of the TOA reflectance over the targets.
MODTRAN simulations are carried out to parameterize the spectral channel adjustment factors.
BRDFs and SBAFs are applied to filtered AVHRR data to generate time series of calibration slopes.
Comparisons with calibration coefficients from others exhibit validity and consistency.
