The Along Track Scanning Radiometer (ATSR)

are being flown as part of the payload of the ERS-1 and -2 missions.The primary mission of these sensors is to obtain sea surface temperature data sets for climate studies, but the high-quality image data collected by the instruments has application to a wide range of EO activities. Careful pre-flight and in-flight calibration is a major feature of the ATSR instruments and their data are particularly suited to applications where high radiometric accuracy and stability is required. Each of the ATSR instruments carries two infrared calibration targets, and the ATSR-2 and the future ATSR instruments carry an on-board visible calibration system for their visible channels. This article explains some of the features and advantages of the instruments and the data sets they produce.

This issue of EOQ is dedicated to the Along Track Scanning Radiometer instruments that
