The in-flight calibration program for the EOS-AM1 Multi- angle Imaging SpectroRadiometer (MISR) includes on-orbit calibration, characterization of instrument properties and a calibration integrity process. One of the primary activities of the in-flight radiometric calibration and characterization group responsible for the MISR calibration program at the Science Computing Facility is to produce a data file called the Ancillary Radiometric Product (ARP). Radiance scaling and conditioning processing at the distributed active archive center, as well as other science data product generation, proceed using ARP parameters. The parameters that make up the ARP include pre-flight data which give an account of the instrument radiometric response, along with other instrument descriptors. Radiometric response will be maintained and updated throughout the mission.
