ASTER TIR Radiometric Calibration and Atmospheric Correction

The ASTER/TIR subsystem obtains images by mechanical scanning with ten mercury–cadmium–telluride (MCT) photoconductive detectors, which are aligned along the track for each band (50 detectors in total) and cooled to 80 K using a mechanical split Stirling-cycle cooler (Fujisada et al. 1998). The TIR subsystem’s fixed gain covers the input radiance up to 370 K.
