Meanings
nounintercalibration (plural intercalibrations)
plural intercalibrations
- The act of intercalibrating
It is found that a very high correlation between R#95;A and R#95;B (r#95;#123;AB#125; > 0.98) does not prevent large errors in the intercalibration (e.g. sunspot maximum values can be over 30% too large even for such levels of r#95;#123;AB#125;).
