Abstract
An Ultraviolet-Visible Hyperspectral Sensors (UVS) instrument is an ultraviolet-visible imaging spectrograph equipped with two-dimensional charge-coupled device detectors. It records both the spectrum and the swath perpendicular to the flight direction, offering a wide 112° swath. This configuration enables global daily ground coverage with high spatial resolution. The absolute values of in-orbit solar irradiance can be evaluated using the bidirectional reflectance distribution function (BRDF), with the measurement accuracy directly affecting the accuracy of constituent inversion. This paper outlines the calibration process for the BRDF of the UVS, detailing the calibration methods and equipment used. It also proposes a BRDF model and discusses key coefficients. The accuracy levels of the UVS in the UV1, UV2, and VIS channels were 2.162%, 2.162%, and 2.173%, respectively.
