Characterization, calibration and inter-cal experiments
Inter-calibration of field spectro-radiometers
NetOPS activities include the organization of instrumentation characterization, calibration and inter-comparison experiments to allow network members to have an adequate knowledge of the status of their equipment and ensure its comparability. In September 2023, the first spectro-radiometer inter-calibration experiment was carried out. The trial aimed to promote the evaluation of the spectral radiance measurement of each of the eight full-range spectro-radiometers contributed by the network members and the inter-comparison with the rest of the participants using as reference radiometric source a Labsphere CSTM-USS-4000 (Custom Uniform Source System- Uniform Source Sphere) integrating sphere owned by INTA.
