GSICS Web Meeting on Instrument Information Landing Pages

Agenda

1. Rob Roebeling (EUMETSAT) – Instrument Information Landing Pages
2. Jerome Lafeuille (WMO) - Pre-launch instrument characterization for SATURN
3. Li Yuan (CMA) - Development of the Performance and Health Monitoring System of FENGYUN Satellites
4. Manik Bali (NOAA) Instrument Landing Pages: Challenges and Workarounds

Attendees

Chair: Tim Hewison (EUMETSAT)

CMA: Li Yuan

EUMETSAT: Rob Roebeling, Tim Hewison, Peter Miu, Robert Meyer

JMA: Masaya Takahashi

NOAA: Manik Bali, Jordan

WMO: Jerome Lafeuille

Outcome

Manik introduced the proposed landing pages for NOAA instruments, which will initially be populated for a few priority instruments. The participants suggested the priority should be GOES imagers, VIIRS and HIRS.

Action: Rob Roebeling to draft a proposal for which instrument characteristics should be published 2-3 years before launch, and at what level of detail, for presentation at 2016 GRWG/GDWG meeting. These could be specified both as a minimum recommended level, and full, detailed level. It should suggested that these include radiometric noise, SRFs, and some geometric aspects, such as iFoV (if not full PSFs/MTFs).
