ISRO’s GSICS Activities, Action & Achievements Summary
ISRO’s support to GDWG Activities
ISRO’s support to GRWG Activities
ISRO’s Instruments Updates & Planned launches – relevant to GSICS if any
Introduce/Confirm the ISRO’s Personnel supporting GSICS

3. ISRO’s GSICS Activities, Action & Achievements Summary
INSAT-3D imager, sounder GSICS coefficients are regularly updated on MOSDAC.
MOSDAC website for INSAT-3D GSICS coefficients is updated and a thredd server is created.
A java based software is developed for the analysis of INSAT-3D GSICS coefficient analysis. Analysis tool is operational on SAC local network.
GSICS based approach is operationally implemented for operational calibration of INSAT-3D/3DR imager (IR) channels.
In-orbit EOMT based calibration of INSAT-3D and INSAT-3DR imager channels using IASI and AIRS as reference is developed and demonstrated.
A procedure is established to analyse GEO-GEO inter-comparison of INSAT-3D, INSAT-3DR imager and sounder channels.
GEO-GEO inter-comparison of INSAT-3D, MSG-SEVIRI and INSAT-3DR MSG-SEVIRI is under progress.

4. Highlights ISRO’s support to GDWG activities:
INSAT-3D imager, sounder GSICS coefficients are regularly updated on MOSDAC.
MOSDAC website for INSAT-3D GSICS coefficients is updated and a thredd server is created.
A java based software is developed for the analysis of INSAT-3D GSICS coefficient analysis. Analysis tool is operational on SAC local network.

5. Support to GDWG Activities
A few samples of results (Bias at standard scene temperature and slope), drawn from java based tool, developed by SAC (ISRO), are shown in adjacent figures

6. Support to GDWG Activities
Issue regarding the file name convention ??
Where to put version number information in file name

7. Highlights ISRO’s support to GRWG activities:
In-orbit EOMT based calibration of INSAT-3D and INSAT-3DR imager channels using IASI and AIRS as reference is developed and demonstrated.
Started working on inter-calibration of INSAT-3D/3DR Vis/SWIR channels using MODIS ray tracing approach.
Inter-calibration of INSAT-3D/3DR Vis/SWIR channels using MODIS DCC based method is yet to start..
A procedure is established to analyse GEO-GEO inter-comparison of INSAT-3D, INSAT-3DR imager and sounder channels.
GEO-GEO inter-comparison of INSAT-3D, MSG-SEVIRI and INSAT-3DR MSG- SVIRI is under progress.
GCC support is needed in getting MODIS DCC data for VIS/SWIR inter-calibration.
