title = "Intercalibrating the GPM constellation using the GPM Microwave Imager (GMI)",
abstract = "A constellation of disparate radiometers is inherent to the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) mission concept. The task of the Intersatellite Calibration Working group is to generate adjustments to make the measurements of all these radiometers physically consistent. A key role of the GPM Microwave Imager (GMI) on the GPM Core satellite is to serve as a transfer standard among the constellation radiometers. The TRMM Microwave Imager (TMI) has served this role during the development phase and for interim corrections early in the GPM mission. The stability of GMI appears to be very good and a physically based calibration has been generated that appears to be accurate at the 1K level or better.",
