Conclusions
The only way to achieve the goal of combining individual
observation systems into a single Global Earth Observation System
of Systems is solving the problems formulated here through joint
efforts of all participants of the program, with a mandatory
participation of respective national metrological institutions.
The approach to the solution is seen through the use of fixed-point
blackbody sources and better (more “powerful”)) ground calibration
installations.
New approaches are required for the in-flight monitoring of our
instruments within the spectral region form 3 µm to 15 µm (the
phase-transition phenomenon).
A unification of metrological support on the basis of approaches
advanced here will help us obtain intercomparable high-quality data
sets.
