*Details/Specifics of Change:*
The following update of the calibration coefficients are recommended for:
NOAA-16 AVHRR
Ch_1_lo = 0.05383*count - 2.076, count<498.96
Ch_1_hi = 0.1571*count - 53.40, count>498.96
Ch_2_lo = 0.05791*count - 2.188, count<500.16
Ch_2_hi = 0.1706*count - 58.56, count>500.16
NOAA-17 AVHRR
Ch_1_lo = 0.05471*count - 2.189, count<501.12
Ch_1_hi = 0.1606*count - 55.26, count>501.12
Ch_2_lo = 0.06627*count - 2.602, count<500.73
Ch_2_hi = 0.1973*count - 68.30, count>500.73
Ch_3_lo = 0.03156*count - 1.330, count<501.37
Ch_3_hi = 0.2212*count - 96.59, count>501.37
on July 12. These coefficients are intended to be optimal on July 26, in
the middle of the two scheduled updates.
