The slope and intercept for the NOAA-16 HIRS/301 visible channel (Channel 20) are given in Table D.2-3.

Table D.2-3. NOAA-16 HIRS/301 Channel 20 slope and intercept (albedo %).
Source Slope Intercept
Pre-launch calibration 0.021354 51.4852
Post-launch calibration (May 2002) 0.02611 62.3307
Notes:
1. To retrieve the albedo, use the following equation:
albedo = (intercept + slope x C) / cos(z), where C=earth view count, z=solar zenith angle. Both C and z vary from pixel to pixel.

2. Post-launch calibration is traceable to the Libyan desert calibration site, for which the HIRS channel 20 albedo is ~36.1%. Further update to these coefficients may be needed as the instrument degrades over time.

Table D.2-6 contains the actual filter functions for NOAA-16 HIRS/301. Click on the link to see table (moved to separate file since it was so large).

In April 2002, the post-launch calibration for the reflectance (visible) channels of the NOAA-16 AVHRR was reviewed, based on measurements taken over the radiometrically stable targets of the Libyan and Takla Makan Deserts. It was found that there was little loss of sensitivity immediately following the launch of NOAA-16, even though this has been typical behavior for the AVHRR reflectance channels in the past. There was also little degradation in the NOAA-16 AVHRR reflectance channels and the pre-flight coefficients were in reasonable agreement with the ground based truth. Measurements were also made by MODerate-resolution Imaging Spectro-radiometer (MODIS) which is flown on NASA's Earth Observing Satellites (EOS). The MODIS-based coefficients result in reflectances that are somewhat higher than the truth and are found in Heidinger (2002).

Based on these findings, NOAA is recommending (as of Nov. 6, 2002) that the pre-flight calibration coefficients for NOAA-16 AVHRR Channels 1 and 2 be used. However, because there is no desert-based absolute calibration for Channel 3A, NOAA recommends using the MODIS-based calibration for this channel. Table D.2-7 contains the pre-launch and MODIS-based calibration coefficients for the AVHRR/3 instrument on NOAA-16. The columns labeled "Reflectance" are the reflectances for the Libyan Desert derived with corresponding coefficients.

High 0.1528 -51.91 0.1656 -58.4
2 Low 0.0513 -1.943 40.5 0.0603 -2.35 46.0 42.6

High 0.1806 -78.03 0.1920 -84.2

In summary, NOAA recommends using the following equations for NOAA-16 AVHRR reflectance channels:

Channel 1:

A sub 1 = 0.0523 times count minus 2.016 for count less than 497.5, and A sub 1 = 0.1528 
times count - 51.91 for counts greater than 497.5

Channel 2:

A sub 2 = 0.0513 times count minus 1.943 for count less than 500.3 and A sub 2 = 0.1510 times 
count - 51.77 for count greater than 500.3

Channel 3A:

A sub 3A = 0.0262 times count - 1.010 for count less than 498.7 and A sub 3A = 0.1920 times 
count - 84.20 for count greater than 498.7

where count represents the 10-bit digital count as recorded by the AVHRR instrument and A is the albedo assuming the Sun is at its zenith and the Sun-Earth distance is one astronomical unit (A is also referred to as the reflectance factor or adjusted reflectance).

Table D.2-8 contains NOAA-16 AVHRR/3 visible channel information such as equivalent width, ω, effective central wavelength, λe, and in-band solar irradiance, F.
