Effects of Solar Intrusion on the Calibration of the Metop-C Advanced Microwave Sounding Unit-A2 Channels
This study presents our first discovery about two abnormal problems in the blackbody calibration target associated with the antenna unit A2 in the Metop-C AMSU-A instrument.The problems include the anomalous patterns in both blackbody kinetic temperature Tw and radiative temperature (measured in warm count or Cw), and the time lag between orbital c
