GOES-E GOES-W
• Suomi NPP VIIRS has demonstrated to be a well calibrated radiometer: » Achieved Calibrated/Validated maturity status » Absolute Radiometric Accuracy Requirements:
RSB: 2% absolute radiometric accuracy TEB: 0.13 K to 1.5 K (dependent upon channel)
• Suomi NPP VIIRS will be used as transfer radiometer to inter-compare GOES-R ABI and Himawari-8 AHI using Land, Ocean, and Cloud scenes
GOES-R: 3-5 %
GOES-R: 1 K GOES-R: 1 K

1. Conduct a spectral comparison of GOES-R ABI and JMA Himawari 8 AHI:
» Identify suitable channels for radiometric comparison between the two instruments (Qualitative and Quantitative)
» Characterize radiometric differences in identified channels
1. Conduct a spectral comparison of Suomi NPP VIIRS, GOES-R ABI and JMA Himawari 8 AHI:
» Identify suitable channels for radiometric comparison between each instrument (Qualitative and Quantitative)
» Identify bands best suited for on-orbit inter-comparisons with VIIRS to be used as a transfer radiometer
1. Provide recommendations for post-launch Cal/Val risk mitigation and readiness using Suomi NPP as a transfer radiometer for the Geostationary missions 8

Data Processing: • Simulated channel effective spectral radiance (Leff )
was produced for each system: » Using the SRF data for each system and the
corresponding typical earth targets [Eq 1]
• Simulated radiance for each system was analyzed: » RSB: percent difference in TOA Reflectance [%] used
as metric of comparison » TEB: difference in effective temperature [K] used as
metric of comparison 10

• Leverage early Himawari-8 AHI on-orbit data for GOES-R Cal/Val risk mitigation and post-launch readiness » AHI and VIIRS are assets to be utilized during
Post Launch Tests and throughout mission life – Himawari-8 scheduled to launch Fall of
2014 – GOES-R scheduled to launch in Fall
2015/early 2016
• NOAA MOU between NESDIS and JMA: » NOAA will host JMA visiting scientist (see
Steve Goodman, GOES-R Program Scientist)

• ABI & AHI Comparison: » RSB: Overall good agreement in most channels (>0.5% Diff.)
– Largest differences in 0.865 µm & 2.25 µm channels » TEB: All differences in Eff. Temperature within 1 K
– Largest differences in 6.19 µm & 8.5 µm channels • S-NPP VIIRS as a Transfer Radiometer:
» All ABI & AHI RSB channels are suitable for inter-comparisons » Only ABI & AHI TEB channels: 7, 11, 13, & 14 are suitable for
inter-comparisons • This effort supports GOES-R post-launch Cal/Val risk mitigation &
readiness, as well as an opportunity to collaborate with the JMA • Establishes a baseline for future comparisons between these systems
