Short-wave infrared transfer radiometer for the calibration of the moderate-resolution imaging spectrometer and the advanced spaceborne thermal emission and reflection radiometer

A short-wave infrared (700-2500-nm) radiometer has been designed and built to calibrate and cross calibrate spherical-integrating sources used in the calibration of satellite sensors residing on NASA's Earth Observing System platforms. We describe the design, predicted and measured performance, and calibration of the transfer radiometer.
