3 ISRO Participation in EP, GDWG, GRWG Points of contacts/meeting participants (update in website pending): EP: Dr Raj Kumar, Deputy Director, EPSA/SAC GDWG: Mr Debajyoti Dhar, Group Director, SIPG/SAC GRWG: Dr Pradeep Kumar Thapliyal Dr Munn Vinayak Shukla GSICS Point of Contact for Operational Matters: Mr D K Patel (dk@sac.isro.gov.in) Main contribution to GDWG actions INSAT-3DR NRTC demo products added in GSICS Website ISRO Thredds server for GSICS products (Webex meeting with GDWG held in April 2018) Required changes in ISRO-Thredds server is in progress. Plotting tool for ISRO GSICS products is operational on local network. GSICS plotting tool collaboration is in discussion with GDWG. Main contribution to GRWG actions In-orbit EOMT based calibration procedure attempted using AIRS and IASI collocations. Intercalibration procedure is operational for INSAT-3DR Imager. Results from vicarious calibration of INSAT-3D/3DR radiances using in-situ upper air observations over ISRO cal-val site Kavaratti island were analysed. Further campaign planned. GEO-GEO inter-comparison of INSAT-3D/3DR and MSG-SEVIRI carried out. Comments, feedback Participated through Webex in GSICS working group meeting in March 2018 held in China. Discussion on ISRO Thredds server configuration using Webex in April 2018 GSICS-EP-19, Bangalore, India, 1-2 June
