Switchover to MTSAT-2
July 2010: MTSAT-2 infrared inter-calibration system and its monitoring web page were implemented simultaneously with the switchover to MTSAT-2 from MTSAT-1R
September 2010: MTSAT-2 visible calibration system and its monitoring web page were implemented
Prototype of a unified web page (GSICS Bias Monitoring)
May 2010: Action EP 8.2 (JMA, in consultation with GCC, to develop a prototype of a unified web page….) was adopted
February 2011: The prototype was presented at the Web meeting as a review for GDWG/GRWG

GSICS Correction for MTSAT infrared channels
July 2010: GSICS Correction for MTSAT infrared channels entered the Demonstration Phase of the GSICS Procedure for Product Acceptance (GPPA) as other GPRCs
Since September 2010: GSICS Correction data have been uploaded operationally on the EUMETSAT GSICS server
Since September 2010: Trial study toward the application of the GSICS Correction has been performed for Clear Sky Radiance (CSR) product
September 2010: CSR product corrected by GSICS Correction was experimentally generated (refer to CGMS38 JMA-WP-04)
January 2011: The OSE was performed for a very short period
