Pre-launch sensor characterization of the CERES Flight Model 5 (FM5) instrument on NPP mission

Abstract: Clouds and the Earth's Radiant Energy System (CERES) instrument was designed to measure broadband radiances in reflected shortwave and emitted outgoing longwave energy. The 3-sensor CERES instrument measure radiances in 0.3 to 5.0 micron region with Shortwave sensor, 0.3 to >100 microns with Total sensor and 8 to 12 micron region with Window sensor. Flight Model 5 (FM5), the sixth of the CERES instruments is scheduled to launch aboard the NPP spacecraft on October 2011. An accurate determination of the radiome… Show more

“…In the previous analysis, Terra's error was smaller than that of Aqua and S-NPP because Terra had a slightly larger cloudy area and fewer clear areas than Aqua and S-NPP. Figure 10 shows the results of scene analysis of S-NPP/CERES (36.08%) with the largest number of data among Terra, Aqua, and S-NPP for 20 cases because the S-NPP satellite observes at an altitude of 840 km, which is higher than the Terra and Aqua (705 km) [52]. Figure 10 shows the RSR of Himawari-8/AHI (left) and S-NPP/CERES (middle left), the percentage error of the two data sets (middle right), and the clear fraction of CERES (right).…”
