On-orbit calibration of HALOE detector linearity
2007
The Halogen Occultation Experiment (HALOE) conducted satellite solar occultation
measurements for 14 years ending on 21 November 2005. HALOE contained a calibration
wheel, which included three neutral density filters that were used to examine response
linearity through a combination of ground and on-orbit measurements. Although
measurement uncertainties preclude a confident assessment of the true extent of
nonlinearity, the on-orbit data lead to the conclusion that any existing response
nonlinearity has changed by less than 2% over the mission lifetime. This conclusion
eliminates a potentially significant uncertainty when using HALOE data for studies of
long-term atmospheric trends.
