Atmospheric Correction Parameter Calculator

29-Oct-09:
An error was found that caused all results in the southern hemisphere to be incorrect.
The error has been corrected and all southern hemisphere data should be re-run through this tool.
Please email if you have questions.

Enter the parameters for which you wish calculate atmospheric transmission and upwelling radiance:

Year: Month: Day:
GMT Hour: Minute:
Latitude:
+ is North, - is South 		Longitude:
+ is East, - is West
  Use atmospheric profile for closest integer lat/long help
  Use interpolated atmospheric profile for given lat/long help
  Use mid-latitude summer standard atmosphere for upper atmospheric profile help
  Use mid-latitude winter standard atmosphere for upper atmospheric profile help
  Use Landsat-7 Band 6 spectral response curve
  Use Landsat-5 Band 6 spectral response curve
  Output only atmospheric profile, do not calculate effective radiances
Optional: Surface Conditions
(If you do not enter surface conditions, model predicted surface conditions will be used.
If you do enter surface conditions, all four conditions must be entered.)
Altitude (km): Pressure (mb):
Temperature (C): Relative Humidity (%):
Results will be sent to the following address:
