Aqua MODIS Electronic Crosstalk on SMWIR Bands 20 to 26

Aqua MODIS Moon images obtained with bands 20 to 26 (3.66 - 4.55 and 1.36 - 1.39 $\mu$m) during scheduled lunar events show evidence of electronic crosstalk contamination of the response of detector 1. In this work, we determined the sending bands for each receiving band. We found that the contaminating signal originates, in all cases, from the detector 10 of the corresponding sending band and that the signals registered by the receiving and sending detectors are always read out in immediate sequence. We used the lunar images to derive the crosstalk coefficients, which were then applied in the correction of electronic crosstalk striping artifacts present in L1B images, successfully restoring product quality.
