We compare the independent FIRAS and DIRBE observations from the COBE in thewavelength range 100-300 microns. This cross calibration provides checks ofboth data sets. The results show that the data sets are consistent within theestimated gain and offset uncertainties of the two instruments. They show thepossibility of improving the gain and offset determination of DIRBE at 140 and240 microns.Comment: Accepted for publication in the Astrophysical Journal 11 pages, plus 3 figures in separate postscript files.
