Answer supplied by David Teyssier:
The calibration uncertainties vary from one instrument to another. A summary of those is provided in each of the instrument overview pages, namely: HIFI: https://www.cosmos.esa.int/web/herschel/hifi-overview PACS: https://www.cosmos.esa.int/web/herschel/pacs-overview SPIRE: https://www.cosmos.esa.int/web/herschel/spire-overview The calibration uncertainties are provided in the Performance and Calibration section, typically with a distinction between absolute and relative (repeatability) accuracy. For HIFI a dedicated calibration uncertainty budget table exists per observation, and can be retrieved as an HPDP - see https://www.cosmos.esa.int/web/herschel/highly-processed-data-products. | |
