Description:
The change in mean signal level as a function of scan angle and scan direction was studied. The overall scan angle effect corresponded to that expected based on atmospheric modeling and scene characteristics. An initial, empirical correction model employing exponential decay was developed for reflective bands. Band 6 has a significant scan direction effect which is markedly different from that found in the reflective bands. A low frequency noise was discovered which was most pronounced in Band 1, detectors 4, 12, 10, and 8, having amplitudes of approximately 2.0, 1.5, 1.0, and 0.75 quantizing levels, respectively. This low frequency variation in mean signal amplitude was highly correlated among these four Band 1 detectors. Low frequency noise was also observed in Band 7, detector 7; band 2, detector 1; Band 3, detectors 1 and 16; and Band 5, detector 10.
