GRWG07_01R
GRWG recognise the unique benefit of lunar observations.
GRWG recognise the key role of ROLO in lunar calibration.
GRWG greatly appreciate the support provided by T. Stone (USGS)
For lunar calibration to become sustainable, it is necessary to routinely compute lunar irradiances from ROLO results for each instrument relevant to GSICS, accounting for spectral response, geometry, etc., and compare these with that instrument’s integrated observations of the moon.
GRWG enthusiastically welcomed the proposal from USGS to develop an internet-based technology to provide a service to perform this function.
The Executive Panel are invited to take note of the great potential of such a contribution from USGS.
