Documentation necessary for data analysis and interpretation is made available through the WISPR website. These include:

  • Instrument description. Descriptions of the instrument can be found on the main WISPR design page. Additional details can be found in the various papers listed in the WISPR Bibliography.
  • Calibration and validation methodology. Work is ongoing regarding the calibration of the WISPR instruments, with publications under peer review at this time.
  • Validation through cross-calibration with other instruments or other assets. This is an ongoing process that will evolve as the mission evolves and more observations are recorded.
