Calibration Landing Pages

A concept of Calibration Landing Page is to make calibration information available though [[https://www.wmo-sat.info/oscar/spacecapabilities][WMO OSCAR/Space]. For this purpose, each GPRC is asked to create and maintain stable landing pages (a single landing page per instrument per satellite) where information (or links to information) is displayed for the following 5 categories:

• Instrument Specification (documents on instruments baseline physical basis)
• Instrument Events (database or documents of calibration related events)
• Instrument Monitoring (database or documents following state of the instrument)
• Data Outages (database or documents with instrument outage dates)
• Relevant Documents (documnts on data usage and data calibration and validation)

In details on the Landing Pages, please refer to a white paper submitted to CGMS-45.
