    I'm trying to conduct an atmospheric correction of an AISA-Eagle file via FLAASH (ENVI 4.8 32-bit). Since it's possible to change the settings of this sensor and I get a really confusing reflectance output, I would like to check the applied spectrograph definition file of the AISA sensor. So where can I find this file? Also I've seen that ENVI needs W * cm-2 * sr-1 * nm-1, but somebody in this forum has written and the FLAASH-Help says, that ENVI needs µW * cm-2 * sr-1 * nm-1. Which one is right, or better, which scale factor should I chose, if I have W * m-2*sr-1*µm-1? Thanks in advance for your effords!

    Dear Alex, For hyperspectral data like AISA, FLAASH does not use a spectral response function. Instead it uses the wavelengths (and FWHM if available) provided in the ENVI header file for the input data. ENVI itself, outside of FLAASH, doesn't have any particular requirements for radiance units. FLAASH requires radiance to be in units of µW/(cm2 * sr * nm), unless you provide a scale factor that when divided into the input pixel values results in units of µW/(cm2 * sr * nm). So if your input image has radiance units of W * m-2 * sr-1 * µm-1 (which is also W/(m2*sr*µm)), then you would need to provide a scale factor of . . . let's see . . . 0.01. You'll want to check my math on that. Unit conversions were never my strong point. The most common problem when running FLAASH is providing the wrong scale factor to convert the radiance units in the image into the units that FLAASH expects. - Peg Exelis VIS
