Title

A Consensus Calibration Based On Tmi And Windsat

Keywords

calibration; Microwave radiometry; precipitation

Abstract

The Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) mission requires a high degree of consistency among the microwave radiometers in the constellation which, in turn, demands a standard against which all the sensors can be compared. Ultimately this standard will be the GPM Microwave Imager, but for the present the TRMM Microwave Imager (TMI) fills this need. Since its calibration leaves much to be desired, a refinement using Windsat has been developed. This article defines the Consensus Calibration 1.1 which is applied to the TMI. In turn the TMI serves as a transfer standard to other satellite radiometers. © 2011 IEEE.
