Abstract

In this paper the calibration of sensors in polar orbiter satellites in the GPM constellation has been addressed. Since the lunch of TRMM at 1998, AMSU-B sensors flown on NOAA-15, NOAA-16, NOAA-17, and the MHS sensors flown on NOAA-18, NOAA-19, MetOp-A and MetOp-B have provided an invaluable datasets of full coverage of earth which have been extensively used in weather prediction. Here, the calibration between these radiometers and regional and scan position dependence of the calibration biases has been investigated.
