CalVal Important Literature The tables below contain lists of references focussing on calibration/validation relevant subjects. This list will evolve continuously over time. If you feel that documents are missing, please feel free to use the feedback functionality of the CalValPortal to submit your suggestions. Please note that the CalVal Portal does not provide direct links to full documents (although they might exist) if these documents are originated from peer-reviewed journals, or if the copyright conditions are unclear.
