Abstract

Recent results of the vicarious calibration of the Landsat-7 ETM+ sensor are presented based on the reflectance-based vicarious method using results from a smaller test site in close proximity to the University of Arizona. The typical, larger test site is brighter and more spatially uniform then the smaller site. However, the location of the small test site allows for more frequent data collections and a more complete understanding of the calibration coefficients of the sensor as a function of time. The Remote Sensing Group previously reported results based on data collected from the smaller test site on seven dates. Here we report calibration values for additional dates as well as a comparison of the calibration values for the large and smaller test sites over recent years. The most recent data shows the calibration values using the smaller sites continue to agree within 3% of the large test sites in all bands.
