8.3.4 Calibration

For some observatories, the calibration happens transparently as the input data contains the Tsys measurements taken during the observations. The nominal ’Tsys’ values may be in Kelvin or Jansky. The user may wish to apply a Tsys correction or apply gain-elevation and opacity corrections.
