3 Basic Considerations: History and Channel Properties First AVHRR in-orbit was a 4-channel radiometer, carried on TIROS-N (launched 13 October 1978). The first 5-channel instrument (AVHRR/2) was carried on NOAA-7 (launched 23 June 1981). The actual instrument version is AVHRR/3, with 6 channels, first carried on NOAA- 15 launched on 13 May Out of 16 launched AVHRR instruments, five are presently operating (NOAA-15, 18, 19; Metop-A/B) Last AVHRR instrument will be launched onboard Metop-C in October 2018 VIS IR 3 Workshop`Radiometric Calibration for European Missions, 30/31 Aug. 2017`,Frascati (EUM/RSP/VWG/17/936014)

4 Basic Considerations: Facts AVHRR/3 has a 10-bit radiometric resolution only AVHRR/3 has six channels only (five are transmitted to ground) AVHRR/3 has a resolution of >1km at nadir and about 2x6km at scan edge AVHRR/3 has no internal VIS calibration target but AVHRR/3 is embarked on both, US and European operational weather satellites, thus contributing to the Initial Joint Polar System, a long-term agreement between NOAA and EUMETSAT AVHRR/3 and its predecessors are operated in space since more than 30 years AVHRR/3 products are processed in Near-Real Time with an availability of more than 98%. AVHRR/3 is used as reference for multi sensor projects (eg. ISCCP) AVHRR/3 has many NWP and climate monitoring applications (cloud detection, vegetation indices, snow coverage, sea-ice monitoring, surface temperatures, forest fires, atmospheric motion vectors) 4 Workshop`Radiometric Calibration for European Missions, 30/31 Aug. 2017`,Frascati (EUM/RSP/VWG/17/936014)

5 Basic Considerations: Definitions Calibration: The process of quantitatively defining the instrument response to known, controlled signal inputs => Instrument response: Measured Earth view counts => Known, controlled signal inputs: 1.

25 Summary AVHRR data have many surface and atmosphere applications and allow to generate time series of geophysical variables with lengths of 30 years covering the full globe. Operational AVHRR/3 sensor calibration is different for the three VIS and the three IR channels. VIS channels rely on vicarious calibration (Libyan Desert) updated in 1 to 2 months intervals by NOAA. IR channels use measurements of space and of an internal warm target sampled during each scan. Metop-A AVHRR/3 VIS channels exhibit a channel-dependent loss of sensitivity of 0.6%/year to 1.1%/year; AVHRR/3 IR channels 4 and 5 show no long-term change of sensitivity for both Metops. For channels 4 and 5, radiance biases are quantified using IASI measurements as reference. The accuracy of retrieved channel 3B brightness temperatures decreases significantly for cold targets Under certain circumstances (optically thick cloud deck observed under sunglint conditions), saturation of channel 3A can occur. When the moon is in the field of view of the space view, this also impacts the warm target and Earth view measurements Due to the extension of the field of view from nadir (1x1km) towards the scan edge (2x6km) and the pixel overlapping, the information content varies strongly with the scanning angle. 25 Workshop`Radiometric Calibration for European Missions, 30/31 Aug. 2017`,Frascati (EUM/RSP/VWG/17/936014)
