Calibration Update - April 2001
On April 10, the SeaWiFS Calibration and Validation Team (CVT) updated the
calibration table used in the SeaWiFS operational processing. This update
incorporates a third piecewise linear time correction segment into the time
corrections for both bands 7 and 8. This update is based on the continued
analysis of the lunar calibration time series. This update does not have any
effect on the vicarious gains, since there are no vicarious calibration
matchups in the time range affected by the addition of the new time correction
segment.
