Dear Larry and Manik,

Thank you for accepting the Himawari-9 AHI IR GSICS Correction at the Demonstration phase! I am also pleased to work with you again in the GSICS framework. Looking forward to seeing you in Tokyo soon!

All the best,
Masaya

Arata,

Congratulations on generating a new set of GSICS products for Himawari 9.
Near-Real Time Correction, GEO-LEO IR, Demonstration, Himawari-9 AHI, IASI-B , from 2022-09-27 to Present ( see here<https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1d5ANaZ8g2gHMli6EWze8A2NgEWixa1RT> )

Re-analysis Correction , GEO-LEO IR, Demonstration, Himawari-9 AHI, IASI-B , from 2022-09-27 to Present ( see here <https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1eyP4W2ISFmZrU6tASbfdClHQJi8yMhJc> )

The four listed products are accepted at the Demonstration Level of Maturity under the family of instruments clause.

Manik,
Please add the products to the GSICS Catalog. Do we have a process to use GUMS to inform the GSICS community of the new products?
Can you send out a report with the figures from your Colab along with ones for the corresponding Himawari-8 AHI products?

Larry Flynn, GCC Director

Dear Arata,
Thank you for your email and letting me know about the status of the inter-calibration products.
I was able to process the products in my colab files and since these are from family of instruments so we can accept them in Demonstration phase

Essentially the variables conform to the metadata standards and the correction coefficients are able to correct the bias ( already stable) . So we can move them to Demonstration phase upon Larry's consent.

Dear Manik,

In the last annual meeting in College Park, we discussed about to include the Himawari-9 GSICS Correction information in the GSICS product catalog.
We have sent naer-real-time and re-analysis products with regard to AIRS and IASI-B to EUMETSAT GSICS server.
The products wrt IASI-C will also start in the near future. The data start date is as follows.

Actually, the products contains a few data for health check observations performed in 2017 and 2018.
The data are sparse and most of the observation data is not publicly available.
So, I think it is convenient for users that the product start date on the catalog is 2022-09-27 which is the date of data dissemination start for beta users.


By the way, I'll move to JMA HQs and leave GSICS work from April, the next week. Masaya will be back as my replacement.
My next task is also related to Himawari, so, I hope I could meet you again in the future.

Best regards,
Arata
