Introduction

  • AIRS Team has high interest in CrIS for continuing AIRS

measurements

  • Government and Industry teams actively working

towards product development. Thanks for your hard work!

  • NASA to evaluate products from IPO and NOAA
  • Expect good performance overall with a few exceptions
  • This talk focuses on impact of low emissivity Internal

Calibration Target (ICT) on Level 2

  • Small impact (< 0.2K) instability to L2 products
  • Should be OK for process studies, may affect climate

studies

Observed Radiance is sum of Emitted and Reflected Components Variance on observed radiance from the ICT Background is sum over contribution from all elements Variance on background has three components: Area, emissivity and temperature Since it is impossible to differentiate between these, define “effective” temperature error to match observed stability in the laboratory

Uncertainty on Emitted Radiance Treated as “Effective” Temperature Uncertainty of Background

Summary and Conclusions

  • Internal Calibration Target (ICT) Blackbody on CrIS on NPP does

not meet emissivity specifications

  • View to external baffles will introduce reflected energy contribution

to calibration radiance viewed by CrIS

  • Energy will modulate with instrument temperature
  • Correction algorithm will be applied. It’s a matter of how well this

can be done.

  • Expect residuals on the order of 50-200 mK
  • May be OK for process studies, but may affect ability to trend

products over time

  • Will impact Level 2 product temperatures with similar errors unless it

can be tuned out using earth observations

  • Fix to ICT requested for FM2
  • Again, Thanks to the CrIS Team for all their efforts.
