Abstract
A method for the vicarious calibration of visible to near infrared radiometers onboard satellites based on the reflectance based method with a onsite calibration of ground based measuring instruments is proposed. It is found that approximately 39.34 [%] of improvement of the vicarious calibration accuracy can be achieved for the proposed method in comparison to the old method of reflectance based method. The error budget analysis result shows that 9.61 [%] of improvemnet on vicarious calibration accuracy can be achieved comparing to the typical reflectance based method.
