Calibration Coefficients GOES-7GOES-7: Normalized coefficients for VIS scaled radiances (0 to 1) and IR brightness temperatures in Kelvins. GOES-7 started as GOES-EAST in April 1987 but became GOES-WEST in August 1991. The Normalized coefficients result from comparison to the reference AVHRR for that time period.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- GOES-7: Absolute coefficients for VIS scaled radiances (0 to 1) and IR brightness temperatures in Kelvins. GOES-7 started as GOES-EAST in April 1987 but became GOES-WEST in August 1991. The Absolute coefficients combine all ISCCP calibration adjustments, including the aircraft calibration, to produce the final Absolute tables in the BT dataset.
