Calibrated radiances

Dataset description

The following datasets contain calibrated radiances for the EARTHCARE underpasses during PERCUSION. The data were measured by the specMACS spectrometers (VNIR: 400 - 1000 nm and SWIR: 1000 nm - 2500 nm).

The calibrated radiances for each research flight are stored as a separate NETCDF4 files.
