Abstract
To achieve the research objectives of the Airborne Visible/IR Imaging Spectrometer (AVIRIS), the sensor calibration must be valid while AVIRIS is acquiring data from the airborne platform. The operational environment inside the aircraft differs significantly from that in the AVIRIS laboratory environment where the sensor is calibrated prior to and following each flight season. To independently validate the calibration of AVIRIS in the flight environment an inflight calibration experiment is conducted at least twice each flight season. Results for a calibration experiment held on the 26th of September 1993 are presented.
