intercalibration

intercalibration noun: the act of intercalibrating.

Noun

intercalibration (plural intercalibrations)

  1. The act of intercalibrating
    • It is found that a very high correlation between R#95;A and R#95;B (r#95;#123;AB#125; > 0.98) does not prevent large errors in the intercalibration (e.g. sunspot maximum values can be over 30% too large even for such levels of r#95;#123;AB#125;).2015, M. Lockwood, M.J Owens, L. Barnard, I.G. Usoskin, “Tests of sunspot number sequences: 3. Effects of regression procedures on the calibration of historic sunspot data”, in arXiv
