    Abstract

    With the Moon as a reference source for thermal emissive band (TEB) calibration without any knowledge of lunar surface's emissivity or temperature, the quantitative relationship of the measured radiances between different TEBs is established by introducing the parameter universal dual-band emissivity ratio (UDER). This was further used to deduce a novel cross-calibration approach between different bands. Meanwhile, selecting the thermal infrared band with the highest radiometric accuracy as a baseline, the on-orbit radiometric calibration for water-vapor band of FY-2E satellite is realized by using multi-bands lunar observations without any space-borne full-path blackbody. The radiometric calibration accuracy has been improved by about 3.5 K in the lower temperature region between 200K and 220 K, which is great benefits to the enhancement of some quantitative products significantly, i.e. cloud classification.
