Links to sites which contain information on satellite calibration and spectral response functions (SRFs) necessary for radiative transfer calculations and radiance assimilation, ordered by agency:

• NOAA POES ATOVS and AVHRR instrument characteristics (including NOAA POES HIRS and AVHRR SRFs)
• NOAA SIS satellite instrument calibration information for ATOVS, AVHRR and GOES
• NOAA OSO GOES calibration information
• The NOAA-KLM users guide
• NOAA HIRS SRFs
• NOAA AVHRR SRFs
• JPSS CrIS SDR ATBD, VIIRS RSRs
  

• Meteosat calibration information
• MetOp IASI SRF (readme.txt, SRF_IASI.ps, SRF_IASI.txt)
• MetOp HIRS SRFs
• MetOp AVHRR SRFs

• AIRS SRFs and AIRS channel property files

• SRFs for infrared sensors on NOAA POES, NOAA GOES, MeteoSat, EOS and GMS-5 satellites and associated software and documentation. Developed and maintained by Paul van Delst.
