AMS SPECTRAL RESPONSE FUNCTION

Overview
The AMS Spectral Response Function (SRF) describes its relative sensitivity to energy of different wavelengths (in microns) and is determined in our calibration laboratory using a scanning monochromator and integrating sphere. These measurements are taken before and after every deployment to ensure that the highest quality data is delivered to the scientific community. Click on a channel number to view the associated SRF.
