2012 Workshop: Optical calibration and analysis

Long title
Calibration and analysis techniques for optical observations
Conveners
S. Nossal
J. Baumgardner
D. Hampton
Description

Accurate calibration is important for inter-comparison of observations, data/model comparisons, and long-term investigations. We invite discussion on a broad range of topics relating to optical observations and their analysis, including absolute and relative intensity calibration, wavelength calibration, spatial scale determination, error analysis, correction for scattering within the lower atmosphere and flat field techniques. We encourage hands on demonstrations.
