Table 6.

Maximum Absolute Spectral Responses (ASRs) for the Total-Band wavelength ranges of VIIRS bands M1 through M7. For SIRCUS, the maximum ASR is determined from the set of measurements by inspection. For the laboratory measurements, the maximum ASR is calculated via Eq. 13. Since the maximum ASR lies within the central response peak for each band, it is also the maximum for the In-Band wavelength ranges.
