GSICS Executive Panel 10JMA GPRC Report 6-8 June 2010 WMO HQ, Geneva Yoshihiko Tahara Meteorological Satellite Center Japan Meteorological Agency
MTSAT Infrared Inter-Calibration(Progresses since EP-8 via EP-9) May 2010: ATBD and GSICS Product Acceptance Form (GPAF) were submitted July 2010: MTSAT-2 IR inter-calibration system and its monitoring web page were implemented simultaneously with the switchover to MTSAT-2 from MTSAT-1R July 2010: GSICS Correction for MTSAT IR entered the Demonstration Phase of the GSICS Procedure for Product Acceptance (GPPA) September 2010–: GSICS Correction data have been uploaded operationally on the EUMETSAT GSICS server (THREDDS) –January 2011: Clear Sky Radiance (CSR) product was experimentally reprocessed by using the MTSAT IR GSICS Correction, and its preliminary Observing System Experiment was performed Ongoing:Review is underway to enter the Pre-operation Phase Ongoing: MTSAT IR Near Real-Time Corrections (NRTC) is under development 6-8 June 2011, GSICS-EP10
Review of MTSAT IR GSICS Correction (tentative) Comments from reviewers regarding the usability of MTSAT IR GSICS Correction at this moment • Too far from the GSICS portal (wiki) to reach MTSAT GSICS corrections • Slow access to the GSICS wiki page from Japan • Once knowing the place of the MTSAT GSICS corrections, easy and fast to get • Enough information in meta-data • Suggestions to MTSAT ATBD • Tutorial to use GSICS correction expected • No explanations on “LOOK-UP TABLE”, and Radiance and Tb conversion
Preliminary Experiment on CSR • CSR data were regenerated by using MTSAT IR GSICS Correction (No tuning for cloud screening parameters was performed) • Regenerated TBs of the MTSAT WV ch. are about 0.5 K higher than original TBs (left chart), that decreases departure between observation and NWP • One month Observing System Experiment shows that number of CSR data assimilated in NWP are increased (right chart) WV TB differences w/ and w/o GSICS Numbers of CSR data assimilated in OSE
Experiment on SST • MTSAT-2 IR images contain midnight calibration error, which becomes large during eclipse seasons (right charts) • To use GSICS correction, SST parameters should be tuned again. Otherwise, significant biases would be appeared. (bottom chart) • If diurnal bias information is obtained from GSICS, better SST product would be expected MTSAT 12um – AIRS (All orbits) MTSAT 12um – AIRS Asc.(13:30) GSICS Correction SST(GSICS) – SST(Original) 8 January 2011 1 March 2011 MTSAT 12um – AIRS Dec.(01:30) Jul 2010 Jun 2011
MTSAT Visible Calibration(Progresses since EP-8 via EP-9) September 2010: MTSAT-2 visible calibration system and its monitoring web page were implemented Vicarious calibration comparing RT simulated radiances over Cloud-free ocean, land (bare ground on Australia) and uniformed liquid cloud top by using P, T, WV, W-surf from NWP re-analysis, ozone from TOMS and Land surface albedo and cloud parameters from MODIS Collaborative researches with the Atmosphere and Ocean Research Institute (AORI), the University of Tokyo Ongoing: Investigate on using ice cloud as the brightest target Ongoing: Investigate on GMS VIS calibration before MODIS era Collaborative researches with the Center for Environmental Remote Sensing (CEReS), Chiba university Ongoing: Examine to generate re-calibrated global GEOSAT data Ongoing: Examine to retrieve downward SW flux and validate it 6-8 June 2011, GSICS-EP10
