Calibration results of the advanced visible and near infrared radiometer (AVNIR) on board ADEOS are presented. First, the AVNIR responses to the internal and external calibration sources are evaluated, and their short- and long-term stabilities are summarized. Second, absolute radiometric calibration of AVNIR is conducted by using the NASA JPL's calibrated airborne optical sensor, and the results from several different calibration methods (preflight calibration, and in-flight calibrations using the on-board data, the AVIRIS, and the vicarious method) are compared. Third, the geometric accuracy and the image quality are summarized
