Abstract
This paper describes the design and manufacture of the band defining filters and dichroic beamsplitter for the 11 and 12pm infrared channels of the AATSR. The AATSR instrument which is to fly on Envisat-1 polar platform is an improved version of the very successful ATSR-1 flown on Earth Resources Satellite 1 (ERS-1) and its successor ATSR-2 to shortly be launched on ERS-2. The infrared channels are used for the measurement of sea surface temperatures 1 with an accuracy of better than 0.5°C.
