摘要
Tracking the radiometer calibration stability is very important for climate monitoring radiometers as long term accuracy of observations is needed to create reliable climate models. This presentation discusses the advantages of 3-point onboard calibration techniques over 2-point methods to track radiometer calibration stability.
