Mitigation of Calibration Ringing in the Context of the MTG-S IRS Instrument

EUMETSAT is currently developing the on-ground processing chain of the infrared sounders (IRS) on-board the Meteosat third-generation sounding satellites (MTG-S). In this context, the authors investigated the impact of a particular type of radiometric error, called hereafter calibration ringing. It...

description EUMETSAT is currently developing the on-ground processing chain of the infrared sounders (IRS) on-board the Meteosat third-generation sounding satellites (MTG-S). In this context, the authors investigated the impact of a particular type of radiometric error, called hereafter calibration ringing. It arises in Fourier transform spectrometers when the instrument’s radiometric transfer function (RTF) varies within the domain of the instrument’s spectral response function (SRF). The expected radiometric errors were simulated in the context of the MTG-S IRS instrument in the long-wave infrared (LWIR) band. Making use of a principal components (PCs) decomposition, a software correction, called RTF uniformisation, was designed and its performance was assessed in the context of MTG-S IRS.
