Above is a ratio image of the Out-of-Band to the In-Band.
Above is a histogram of the ratio of MODIS 1.38um Out-of-Band response to In-Band response. The maximum ratio value is 0.0267 and the minimum ratio value is 0.0019. The current ABI manufacturing specifications literature states: "The out of band response is defined...as one minus the integrated response between the 1% response points divided by the integrated response from 0.3 microns to 20 microns. Out of band response shall be less than 0.1% (0.001) of the total signal when viewing either a 300 K blackbody (for channel wavelengths > 3 microns ) or a 100% albedo scene above the atmosphere assuming no attenuation." The MODIS 1.38um ratio of Out-of-Band to In-Band response lies outside the ABI requirements, but has been shown to sufficiently accomplish 1.38um band desired tasks. Thus the current ABI requirements are quite sufficient.

Similar techniques were applied to the SCAR-B and Linden scenes and produced very similar results. Due to high amounts of noise where signal is very small the SCAR-B and Linden ratio images and histograms are not shown.
View noise (at 1.38um w/ a equalization enhancement) for the cirrus scene linden scene and scar-b scene. Notice the Linden and SCAR-B scenes have much more noise than the cirrus scene.
