Abstract
The Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) on the EOS Aqua Spacecraft was launched on May 4, 2002 and is currently fully operational. AIRS, in addition to the infrared system comprised of 2378 channels with wavelengths ranging from 3.7-15.4 um, has 4 Visible/Near-Infrared channels and an on-board calibration source utilizing 3 independent lamps to characterize the change in the visible response over time. We describe our experience from 20 years of AIRS data using internal calibration lamps and Deep Convective Clouds (DCCs) for the calibration and stabilization of the AIRS visible light data. We compare and contrast the response the response of the 4 AIRS Visible channels to the three onboard calibration lamps and DCCs. The upcoming release of the AIRS Version 8 Visible L1B product will be using a DCC based calibration.
