  6. Post launch Calibration Figure 1. The seasonal reflectance oscillation is derived from MetOp-A AVHRR visible channel and the MetOP-B AVHRR visible calibration update is performed using the seasonal oscillation trending. Initial On-Orbit Calibration Update of METOP-B AVHRR Solar Channels: The solar bands of Advance Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) must be calibrated vicariously on orbit, which requires an empirically derived Bi-directional Reflectance Distribution Function (BRDF). For AVHRR on a newly launched satellite, the BRDF will not be available until 18 months after launch. An established method that has been used since NOAA-18 is to use the BRDF derived from an instrument on similar orbit. This has been applied to METOP-B, using the BRDF from METOP-A, and the calibration coefficient updates of 0.951, 1.085, and 1.205 have been recommended for Channels 1, 2, and 3A, respectively. Recently, STAR scientist developed another method of inter-calibration of MetOp-B AVHRR using MetOp-A AVHRR as reference, with the consideration of solar zenith angle effects and sensor zenith angle effects. This method results in the calibration coefficient updates of 0.961and 1.087 for channel 1 and 2, which are consistent with the other method. These initial calibration updates are ready to deliver to OSPO for implementation. (Contact: Tiejun Chang, tiejun.chang@noaa.gov and Xiangqian Wu, xiangqian.wu@noaa.gov)

  12. MGVI system  VHP GVI composer (avhrr_gvi.exe) • VHP GVI was developed from MGVI • MGVI system is not updated any more, should be replaced by VHP GVI. • VHP GVI algorithm was improved • VHP GVI is easier to maintain (simple procedure) • Difference on GVI product between VHP GVI and MGVI • File name is slightly difference • All other is invisible to operators or end user

  13. What need to do run VHP GVI • Existing VHP GVI (avhrr_gvi.exe) should be able to run for METOP A and B without change • Need: • Configure file • Calibration files (Both pre- and post-launch)

  16. Recent Improvement on VHP system • AVHRR GVI Control file: Added Two control parameters: • (1) option to skip water pixels when making N-days composite, • (2) option to ignore scan error test so that Metop-B data at early stage (before formal operation) can be processed.

  17. Other improvement on VHP UseSatellite ID instead of satellite number when finding the input L1B files by “scdr-files” command Impact: This feature is designed for STAR scientists only. For OSPO, input L1B files should be available in a folder.

  18. Other improvement on VHP Using macro statement to make the source code simple, without impact on program execution. File: lib_basic.h //the following macro statements will check potential errors before execution, when error, print the error location andmessageandexit the program #define ADDSTRINGS(a,b,c) addString(__FUNCTION__,__FILE__,__LINE__,a,b,c) #define CHECK_DIVISOR(d) checkDivisor(__FUNCTION__,__FILE__,__LINE__,d) #define ALLOCATE(size) allocate(size, __FUNCTION__,__FILE__,__LINE__) #define ERROR_OPEN_FILE(file) failOpenFile_exit(__FUNCTION__,__FILE__,__LINE__,file) #define ERROR_EXIT(message,value) error_exit( __FUNCTION__,__FILE__,__LINE__,message,value) #define CHECK_NC_ERROR(e) check_NC_error( __FUNCTION__,__FILE__,__LINE__,e) For example: In the source codes of VHP package, “checkDivisor” will be replaced by “CHECK_DIVISOR” and the program works in the same way. Original statement: checkDivisor (__FUNCTION__,__FILE__,__LINE__, dLat); New statement: CHECK_DIVISOR(dLat); Although we remove the location of calling statement, “__FUNCTION__, __FILE__, __LINE__”, the macro function CHECK_DIVISOR will and automatically added them back so that detail messages on where error occurs will be printed out.  Impact: code will be more readable.

  19. Other improvement on VHP Resolution flag in file name: VHP_40S60N.G1200m.C07.M1.P2012046.S316.E322.hdf Impact: If resolution < 4km, it will be presented by meters.
