Welcome to the NOAA GPRC web

The Global Space-based Inter-Calibration System (GSICS), initiated by WMO and the Coordination Group for Meteorological Satellites (CGMS), aims to produce consistent, well-calibrated measurements from the international constellation of operational meteorological satellites. GSICS is organized to have several Processing and Research Centers (GPRC). At NOAA GSICS, we conduct GSICS-related processing and research to ensure the quality of radiance measured by NOAA satellites. Our methodology is described in the Algorithm Theoretical Basis Documents. The primary products are GSICS correction that provides coefficients to make operational measurements consistent with reference instruments, and GSICS monitoring that displays the bias and coefficients in various ways.

As a service to the GSICS community through GSICS Coordination Center (GCC), NOAA GPRC also conduct GSICS processing for the international satellite instruments using the GSICS baseline algorithm .
