Introduction

Optical Calibration Techniques and Issues I

Accurate calibration is important for comparing observations taken by different instruments, for model-data comparisons, and for acquiring long-term data records. This workshop will address techniques and issues associated with calibration of optical instruments and data. We welcome contributions on a broad range of topics including absolute and relative intensity calibration, line center calibration, inter-calibration of instruments, and approaches and tools for accounting for the influence of factors such as tropospheric scattering and viewing geometry. One of the topics for this year's workshop will be a discussion of the NSF optical aeronomy calibration facility being developed at Boston University. We have extended the workshop to four hours to enable more time for open discussion regarding the development of community strategies for coordinated calibration. Please contact Jeff Baumgardner or Susan Nossal if you would like to contribute a short presentation.

Be sure to catch the second part of this session, AN: Optical Calibration Techniques and Issues II at 16:00.
