Intercalibration of Kalpana AIRS: Atmospheric InfraRed Sounder Polar Orbiting Aqua (2002) Channels: 2378 (650 cm-1 to 2675 cm-1) (3.74 μm - 15.4 μm) Spectral resolution: /1200 Spatial Resolution: 13.5 Km at Nadir Brightness Temperature AIRS IASI: Infrared Atmospheric Sounding Interferometer Polar Orbiting Metop (2007) Channels: 8461 (645 cm-1 to 2760 cm-1) (3.62 μm - 15.5 μm) Spectral resolution: 0.35 cm-1 at SWIR 0.50 cm-1 at LWIR (resampled at 0.25 cm-1) Spatial Resolution: ~12 km at Nadir IASI GSICS Meeting, 24-28 March 2014 (EUMETSAT, Darmstadt, Germany)

GSICS Meeting, 24-28 March 2014 (EUMETSAT, Darmstadt, Germany) Subsetting Each AIRS/IASI granule is compared with each Kalpana/INSAT-3D image in the input data. Only the pairs that are possible to produce collocations (collocated in space based on lat/lon range and sufficiently close in time) are retained for further analysis. Collocation Region: GEO observation zenith angle < 45 Collocation in Space identify the pixels that define the target area (FOV) and environment (ENV) around each collocation. The target area is defined to be a little larger than the larger Field of View (FoV) of the two instruments The exact ratio of the target area to the FoV will be instrument-specific, but in general will range 1 to 3 times the FoV, with a minimum of 9 'independent' pixels. Target area for Kalpana/INSAT-3D: Kalpana (10km): 3 x 3 pixels centred at LEO centre (minimum 9 pixel) INSAT-3D Imager (4km): 3x3 pixel INSAT-3D Sounder (10km): 3x3 pixel (minimum 9 pixel) GSICS Meeting, 24-28 March 2014 (EUMETSAT, Darmstadt, Germany)

GSICS Meeting, 24-28 March 2014 (EUMETSAT, Darmstadt, Germany) Concurrent in Time LEO time is read for the AIRS/IASI pixel and GEO time is the scan line time. Time collocation: Kalpana/ INSAT-3D Imager: 6 Min. INSAT-3D Sounder: 10/15 min (smaller/slower scan area need more samples) Alignment in Viewing Geometry Kalpana/INSAT-3D Imager: max_zen = 0.01 INSAT-3D Sounder: max_zen = 0.2 for absorbing channels and 0.04 for surface viewing channels (??) Transform Data Perform comparison in radiance units: mW/m2/st/cm-1. where RGEO is the simulated GEO radiance, R is LEO radiance at wavenumber , and Φ is GEO spectral response at wave number . GSICS Meeting, 24-28 March 2014 (EUMETSAT, Darmstadt, Germany)

GSICS Meeting, 24-28 March 2014 (EUMETSAT, Darmstadt, Germany) Kalpana/INSAT-3D Specific: AIRS and IASI channels are assumed to be spectrally stable. Kalpana/ INSAT-3D SRFs are linearly interpolated onto AIRS and IASI spectral grid in wavenumber-space. Any negative responses in the interpolated SRFs are set to zero and then the interpolated SRFs are normalized to [0, 1]. WV channel not inter-calibrated with AIRS. Gap channels in AIRS are linearly interpolated. Spatial Matching The GEO pixels within target area are averaged using a uniform weighting and their variance calculated. The environment is defined by the GEO pixels within 4x radius of the target area from the centre of each collocated LEO FoV. Kalpana/INSAT-3D Imager: Target area is an array of 3x3 pixels and the 7x7 pixel array for environment. INSAT-3D Sounder specific: larger environment area (7x7 or 11x11 ??) due to larger time collocation (15 min ??) GSICS Meeting, 24-28 March 2014 (EUMETSAT, Darmstadt, Germany)

GSICS Meeting, 24-28 March 2014 (EUMETSAT, Darmstadt, Germany) Temporal Matching Only the GEO image closest to the LEO equator crossing time is selected. The time difference between the collocated GEO and LEO observations is neglected and the collocation targets are assumed to be sampled simultaneous, contributing no additional uncertainty to the comparison.   Kalpana/INSAT-3D Specific: all samples within 3 hours before and after equatorial crossing time are considered. This may help determining temporal variation of bias combining IASI/CrIS observations (midnight bias correction ??) GSICS Meeting, 24-28 March 2014 (EUMETSAT, Darmstadt, Germany)

GSICS Meeting, 24-28 March 2014 (EUMETSAT, Darmstadt, Germany) Time Selection The collocation data may range a few hours every day and night. The effects of stray-light at all GEO instruments and the erroneous midnight calibration responsibility of the three-axis stabilized GEO satellite can result in time-dependent degraded GEO radiance. It is therefore necessary to select the optimal time period in a day to maximally reduce the inter-calibration accuracy uncertainty. Kalpana/INSAT-3D Specific: For Kalpana-AIRS specific day time data is used because the AIRS equatorial overpass at night is 1:30am, very close to the peak of Kalpana midnight calibration anomaly. For night time collocated data with IASI is used for intercalibration. GSICS Meeting, 24-28 March 2014 (EUMETSAT, Darmstadt, Germany)

GSICS Meeting, 24-28 March 2014 (EUMETSAT, Darmstadt, Germany) Uniformity Test Knowledge of scene uniformity is critical in reducing and evaluating inter-calibration uncertainty. To reduce uncertainty in the comparison due to spatial/temporal mismatches, the collocation dataset may be filtered so only observations in homogenous scenes are compared. Kalpana/INSAT-3D Specific: The simplest option is to allow all inter-calibration targets, regardless of their uniformity. The variance of the radiances of all the GEO pixels within each LEO FoV (target area) is calculated. GSICS Meeting, 24-28 March 2014 (EUMETSAT, Darmstadt, Germany)

GSICS Meeting, 24-28 March 2014 (EUMETSAT, Darmstadt, Germany) Outlier Rejection To prevent anomalous observations having undue influence on the results, ‘outliers’ may be identified and rejected on a statistical basis. Small number of anomalous pixels in the environment, even concentrated, may not fail the uniformity test. However, if they appear only in one sensor’s field of view but not the other, it can cause unwanted bias in a single comparison. Kalpana/INSAT-3D Specific All inter-calibration targets are included in further analysis, regardless of whether they are outliers with respect to their environment. Only exception: The mean GEO radiances within each LEO FoV (target) are compared to the mean of their environment. Targets where this difference is >3 times the standard deviation of the environment’s radiances are rejected.   Or SD of environment < threshold only retained GSICS Meeting, 24-28 March 2014 (EUMETSAT, Darmstadt, Germany)

GSICS Meeting, 24-28 March 2014 (EUMETSAT, Darmstadt, Germany) Monitoring Define Standard Radiances (Offline) This component provides standard reference scene radiances at which instruments’ inter-calibration bias can be directly compared and conveniently expressed in units understandable by the users. Because biases can be scene-dependent, it is necessary to define channel-specific standard radiances. More than one standard radiance may be needed for different applications – e.g. clear/cloudy, day/night. This component is carried out offline. Kalpana/INSAT-3D Specific A representative Region of Interest (RoI) is selected and histograms of the observed radiances within RoI are calculated for each channel. Histogram peaks are identified corresponding to clear/cloudy scenes to define standard radiances. These are determined a priori from representative sets of observations. The FoR is limited to within 30° latitude/longitude of the GEO sub-satellite point.   GSICS Meeting, 24-28 March 2014 (EUMETSAT, Darmstadt, Germany)

Regression of Most Recent Results Regression is used as the basis of the systematic comparison of collocated radiances from two instruments. (This comparison may also be done in counts or brightness temperature.). Scatter plots of the regression data should also be produced to allow visualisation of the distribution of radiances.   The recommended approach is to perform a weighted linear regression of collocated radiances. The inverse of the sum of the spatial and temporal variance of the target radiance and the radiometric noise provide an estimated uncertainty on each dependent point, which is used as a weighting (Including the radiometric noise ensures that very homogeneous targets scenes where all the pixels give the same radiance do not have undue influence on the weighted regression.) This method produces estimates of regression coefficients describing the slope and offset of the relationship between the two instruments’ radiances – together with their uncertainties, expressed as a covariance. The problem of correlation between the uncertainties on each coefficient may be reduced by performing the regression on a transformed dataset – for example, by subtracting the mean or reference radiance from each set.

GSICS Meeting, 24-28 March 2014 (EUMETSAT, Darmstadt, Germany)

GSICS Meeting, 24-28 March 2014 (EUMETSAT, Darmstadt, Germany) Define Smoothing Period (Offline) It is possible to combine data from a time series of inter-comparison results to reduce the random component of the uncertainty on the final GSICS Correction. However, this requires us to define representative periods over which the results can be smoothed without introducing bias due to calibration drifts during the smoothing period. Kalpana/INSAT-3D Specific Empirically defined as 30 days. Need to investigate the natural variability of bias and revise accordingly. It may be 7 days for Imager and 30 days for Sounder to allow sufficient numbers of samples.   All the collocation data within the smoothing period (7 days/ 30 days) is combined and the regression [5.b] is repeated on the aggregate dataset. This approach ensures all data is used optimally, with appropriate weighting according to its estimated uncertainty. This is the recommended approach in general for GSICS.
