Notes:

  • Himawari-9/AHI results include its in-orbit test data in February 2017 and other non-operational observations (e.g., health check) in the following stand-by period.
  • GSICS Re-Analysis Correction information derived using a smoothing period t-14d to t+14 (where t is the validity date) is available on this page.
  • New references (i.e., Metop-C/IASI and NOAA-20/CrIS) and an update of the inter-calibration algorithm were applied in October 2023 (and reprocessed back to September 2022). The latter mainly reduces AHI Band07 biases vs. IASI.
  • Please be aware that the results of AHI Band07 vs. CrIS, Band08 vs. AIRS, and Band11 vs. CrIS/AIRS have larger uncertaintes due to wide spectral gaps between AHI and the reference sensors. Daytime data for Band07 is not included in the analysis. For further details on Himawari-8,9/AHI infrared inter-calibration in terms of the methods and how to read the charts on this page, please refer to the GSICS Infrared Inter-calibration Guide.
  • The results of AHI vs. S-NPP/CrIS is based on the CrIS FSR mode data from August 2020. The reference was NSR mode data before that.
