Spectroradiometric Observing Systems

The Spectroradiometric Observing Systems group at RSL focusses on the calibration, characterisation and operation of spectroradiometric pointing and imaging systems and the subsequent data calibration.

Mission statement: From light to radiance and reflectance with known uncertainties.

We strive to provide analysis ready data to our colleagues at RSL and to our national and international collaborators and customers.

Focus areas of the Spectroradiometric Observing Systems group within the remote sensing information hierarchy.

We calibrate and/or operate the following sensors and systems:

• APEX - Airborne Prism Experiment Imaging Spectrometer (http://apex-esa.org)
• AVIRIS-ng - NASA-owned Imaging Spectrometer (https://aviris-ng.jpl.nasa.gov)
• AVIRIS-4 as part of ARES - Airborne Research Facility for the Earth System (https://ares-observatory.ch)
• ASD, SVC, UniSpec and FLoX point spectrometers
• SPECCHIO Spectral Information System (https://specchio.ch)
