Abstract: Highlights: What are the main findings? A novel, highly accurate principal component-based spectral standardization (PCSS) method is developed for standardizing measured spectra to a standard wavelength grid. The PCSS method was validated with both simulated spectra and real measured data. What are the implications of the main findings? The high accuracy and low uncertainties enable reliable spectral standardization and intercalibration across different satellite sensors. The method is computationally efficient, making the approach practical for operational implementation. A Principal Component-Based Spectral Standardization (PCSS) method was developed to standardize hyperspectral radiance spectra onto a fixed wavelength grid. This enables the direct comparison of radiance or reflectance spectra across different spatial pixels of an imaging spectrometer or between different instruments. The method was validated using simulated Climate Absolute Radiance and Refractivity Observatory (CLARREO) Pathfinder (CPF) spectra. The PCSS approach demonstrated high accuracy: the average root-mean-square uncertainty across all CPF channels remained below 0.07%, with maximum individual-channel uncertainties under 1%. Compared to methods based on spectral interpolation, PCSS produced significantly lower biases with tighter error distributions, particularly in spectrally rich regions. Measured Hyper Spectral Imager for Climate Science (HySICS) balloon data provided further validation. PCSS successfully estimated wavelength shifts that closely matched measured data, even when utilizing approximated Jacobians, demonstrating the method's robustness. Because it relies on a pre-computed lookup table for model parameters, PCSS bypasses the need for intensive radiative transfer calculations, making it highly computationally efficient. Beyond CPF, this method can easily be adapted for other hyperspectral sensors by substituting their respective wavelength grids and instrument line shape functions, offering a powerful tool to improve cross-calibration between different satellite sensors.
