Abstract
This article follows up the theoretical considerations presented above with an example applied to the infrared channels of geostationary imagers. The uncertainties, u(deltaLr), introduced by the process of spectral conversion to Common Reference Channels (CRCs) are evaluated and discussed. These are referred to Spectral Mismatches.
