Such calibration operations will be performed by an expert Cal/Val team 2 or 3 times<br />

per year with a processing of all data acquired over typically 1 month.<br />

For all vicarious calibration, image-acquisitions will be deterministic and pre-defined on<br />

a yearly basis. Figure 4-30 shows typical acquisitions over the Dome-C sites which can<br />

be commanded during austral summer over one 10-days repeat cycle.<br />

o Inter-band calibration through the processing of sun-glint measurements. During<br />

Phase E2, this will only be done to consolidate and monitor the calibration performed<br />

during Phase E1. This activity will be performed on a yearly basis by an expert Cal/Val<br />

team.<br />

o Refocusing of the instrument using mirror temperatures. During Phase E2, this<br />

calibration would only be performed in case of contingency and performed by an<br />

expert Cal/Val team. Given the criticality of the calibration, a robust approval procedure<br />

will be established including POM approval.<br />

o Crosstalk characterisation and correction. <strong>Sentinel</strong>-2 is designed in order not to require<br />

any crosstalk correction. In case one would be required, ground processing will<br />

account for it and the determination of the associated parameters will be performed by<br />

an expert Cal/Val team.<br />

4.5.4.10.3 Level-1 Geometry Cal/Val Operations<br />

During Phase-E2, geometric calibration will mainly consist on the update of the Global<br />

Reference Image (GRI) used by to meet multi-temporal registration requirements. Calibration<br />

will be complemented with a set of activities to be only triggered in case of contingency, and a<br />

validation plan to check that user requirements are being met.<br />
