Hi,
To clarify, deconvolution cannot be considered a calibration step. Calibration is the removal of known and quantifiable system artefacts. Decon of atmospheric effects is never known apriori nor easily quantifiable. The problem of decon is an inverse problem with no single nor sometimes obvious solution.

Also decon should not be applied to single subs (unless you have only one sub!). As I mentioned in a previous post above, decon is basically a trade off of high SNR (because you have more than you need and can always collect more signal with more time) to spatial resolution which you cannot easily get more of even if you collect for ever at that location.
