GROUND SPECTRORADIOMETRIC MEASUREMENTS IN SUPPORT OF THE VALIDATION OF THE CALIBRATION OF DIGITAL AIRBORNE IMAGING SPECTROMETER (DAIS 7915) DATA

A standard reference test site is flown using the DAIS 7915 imaging spectrometer over Central Switzerland. Simultaneous to this overflight extensive ground measurements are carried out. A sun photometer, a radiosonde, and two spectroradiometers are used simultaneously during the overflight to support the in– flight calibration and validation of the DAIS 7915. The calibration of all instruments is discussed and the modelling process of the at–sensor radiances of the DAIS 7915 is described.
