Satellite instrument characteristics for radiative transfer modelling and satellite data assimilation

Links to sites which contain information on satellite calibration and spectral response functions (SRFs) necessary for radiative transfer calculations and radiance assimilation, ordered by agency:

NOAA satellites

• NOAA POES ATOVS and AVHRR instrument characteristics (including NOAA POES HIRS and AVHRR SRFs)
• NOAA SIS satellite instrument calibration information for ATOVS, AVHRR and GOES
• NOAA OSO GOES calibration information
• The NOAA-KLM users guide

Eumetsat satellites

• Meteosat calibration information
• MetOp IASI SRF [ITSC-14 action pending]
• MetOp ATOVS and AVHRR SRFs [ITSC-14 action pending]

NASA EOS satellites

• AIRS SRFs and AIRS channel property files

General

• SRFs for infrared sensors on NOAA POES, NOAA GOES, MeteoSat, EOS and GMS-5 satellites and associated software and documentation. Developed and maintained by Paul van Delst.
