Main Issues from 2012-11-28 Web Meeting

•How to separate effects of BRDF, Atmosphere & SRF?

•Analysis of SCIAMACHY data

–Characterise desert sites’ spectral BRDF/Validate RTM

•Use of SADE database?

•Action: CNES to provide CEOS and GSICS members with the directional model computed by CNES for Libya-4

–the technical note will be ready (draft version) by the end of this week

•Action: CNES to provide Dave Smith with a mean Hyperion profile over Libya-4 for comparison with GOME and SCIAMACHY

–to be done (period of averaging to be defined)

Issues from 2012-12-19 Web Meeting

•Analysis of MODIS dataset from BJ Sohn?

–Spatial and Temporal Variability

–Characterise current sites, refine them, select new ones

•RAL kindly offered to derive Spectral Band Adjustment factors for different instruments based on GOME2 obs of Libya-4

– Please Provide D.Smith with SRFs of the channels of interest

•Development of ATBD for inter-cal using Rayleigh method

–CNES will analyse MODIS first results first, then tie other instruments to these

•Development of ATBD for inter-cal using sunglint method is still needed

•What limits accuracy of Moon position predictions?

•How to quantify uncertainty using Deserts & Moon as inter-calibration transfer targets?

•Towards Common Processing of Lunar Observations?

•Processing lunar observations from archive data?

•Tying ROLO to absolute standards – input to NIST? •Use of SADE database?

•Input to IVOS? Future cooperation?
