Abstract

Climate Absolute Radiance and Refractivity Observatory (CLARREO) Pathfinder (CPF) mission’s Hyperspectral Imager for Climate Science (HySICS) instrument’s transmissive flight diffuser calibration is presented. The absolute Bidirectional Transmittance Distribution Function (BTDF) measurement of the transmissive diffuser is needed to calculate the instrument’s absolute efficiency. Along with a known solar irradiance source such as Total Solar Irradiance Sensor (TSIS), it can provide an absolute irradiance measurement path on orbit, with NIST traceability. This provides an additional path for CPF to cross compare with other on orbit sensors’ measurement such as Visible-Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS), Clouds and the Earth’s Radiant Energy System (CERES). The flight diffuser was calibrated at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) using the Facility’s Optical Scatterometer.
