3. MTSAT-2 IR GSICS Correction: currently in Demonstration Phase
MTSAT-2 Infrared inter-calibration:
Uncertainty evaluation of GSICS inter-calibration products
MTSAT-2 IR GSICS Correction: currently in Demonstration Phase
Uncertainty analysis based on Hewison (2013)
vs. AIRS product
Spectral mismatch is dominant
vs. IASI product
Good agreement w/ Hewison (2013)
Systematic uncertainty of TB
Preparation for Pre-operational Phase: ongoing

4. Collaborative work with GSICS and the University of Tokyo
MTSAT-2 visible post-launch calibration
Collaborative work with GSICS and the University of Tokyo
Inter-calibration using Deep convective clouds (DCC)
Lunar calibration with reference to the USGS ROLO model
Vicarious calibration using radiative transfer (RT) simulation
Consistent calibration gain (instrument degradation trend)
Shaded area: 95% confidence interval of the linear regression
Time series of MTSAT-2 calibration slope difference
(each method is rescaled at the first calibration result)

5. Calibration event logging: “Landing Page”
In response to A/I 41.22:
“CGMS agencies to provide working papers on current and future capabilities for calibration monitoring and event logs – CGMS-42”
First step: to provide the URLs of STATIC calibration information pages for the WMO OSCAR (agreement at the 2014 GSICS annual meeting)
JMA’s “landing page”: launched in February 2015
Instrument specifications
Calibration events
Data outages
Instrument monitoring
Next step (2016): to seek consensus on common naming conventions for calibration events within GSICS
