Usually the convolution is performed in wavenumber space. However, numerical experiments presented here indicate that there are brightness temperature (BT) differences between wavelength and wavenumber spaces in convolving hyperspectral IR sounder spectrum to broadband. The magnitudes of differences are related to the spectral region and the width of the spectral response functions (SRFs). In addition, the central wavelength and central wavenumber should be determined separately in wavelength and wavenumber spaces, respectively; they cannot be converted to each other directly for broadband BT calculations. There exist BT differences (BTDs) between interpolating the resolution of SRF to hyperspectral IR sounder spectrum, and vice versa, for convolution. This study provides clarity on convolution, central wavelength\/wavenumber determination, and spectral resolution matching between broadband SRFs and hyperspectral IR sounder radiances for intercomparison\/calibration.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs11101177","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,5,17]],"date-time":"2019-05-17T11:06:46Z","timestamp":1558091206000},"page":"1177","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["The Radiance Differences between Wavelength and Wavenumber Spaces in Convolving Hyperspectral Infrared Sounder Spectrum to Broadband for Intercomparison"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0475-9690","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Di","family":"Di","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Chinese Academy of Meteorological Sciences, China Meteorological Administration, Beijing 100081, China"},{"name":"University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100049, China"},{"name":"Key Laboratory of Radiometric Calibration and Validation for Environmental Satellites (LRCVES\/CMA), National Satellite Meteorological Center, China Meteorological Administration (NSMC\/CMA), Beijing 100081, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1519-5069","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Min","family":"Min","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Radiometric Calibration and Validation for Environmental Satellites (LRCVES\/CMA), National Satellite Meteorological Center, China Meteorological Administration (NSMC\/CMA), Beijing 100081, China"},{"name":"School of Atmospheric Sciences and Guangdong Province Key laboratory for Climate Change and Natural Disaster Studies, Sun Yat-sen University, Zhuhai 519082, China"},{"name":"Southern Laboratory of Ocean Science and Engineering (Guangdong, Zhuhai), Zhuhai 519082, China"}]},{"given":"Jun","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cooperative Institute for Meteorological Satellite Studies, University of Wisconsin\u2013Madison, Madison, WI 53706, USA"}]},{"given":"Mathew M.","family":"Gunshor","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cooperative Institute for Meteorological Satellite Studies, University of Wisconsin\u2013Madison, Madison, WI 53706, USA"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,5,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"9233","DOI":"10.1002\/2017JD027117","article-title":"An investigation of the implications of lunar illumination spectral changes for Day\/Night Band based cloud property retrieval due to lunar phase transition","volume":"122","author":"Min","year":"2017","journal-title":"J.
