Abstract

APEX system calibration has reached on operational level with calibration procedures at the CHB being well established and the APEX CAL IS enabling an efficient and transparent data storage and processing for the timely generation of calibration cubes required for the radiometric calibration of APEX imagery. Overall, these achievements result in shorter times from laboratory calibration to processed end user products.
