8. Velocity calibration was done by using a spectrum of an absorber of metallic iron and hematite that was acquired in transmission geometry simultaneously with surface measurements. The drive error signal (difference between theoretical and actual velocity curves) was measured before and after every integration and was used to correct velocity scale.
