Spectral Band Adjustment Factor (GOME-2)
Spectral Band Adjustment Factor (GOME-2)
Spectral Band Adjustment Factor (SBAF) calculator based on GOME-2 visible hyper-spectral data.

Haney, "A web-based tool for calculating spectral band difference adjustment factors derived from SCIAMACHY hyperspectral data," IEEE Trans. Geosci. Remote Sens., vol. 54, no. 5, pp. 2529-2542, 2016.
For this tool, Metop-A GOME-2 L1 radiance data are limited to the continuous spectral range of Channels 1-4, or 0.24 - 0.79 µm.
Imager-equivalent "pseudo" radiance values are in units of Wm-2 µm-1 sr-1.
For IGBP and Pseudo-Invariant Calibration Site (PICS), or desert, Earth Spectra selections, the GOME-2 data are limited to only those footprints with 0% cloud fraction as determined from the GOME2_L1_radiance dataset.
Version 1.0.C GOME-2 (FM3) / Metop-A (M02) signal degradation correction coefficients have been applied.
