NOAA KLM User's GuideAppendix D |
Introduction Page, NOAA KLM TOC,
AcronymsThis section provides specific information for each satellite in the NOAA KLM series. Each subsection contains a satellite's operational date range(s), any abnormalities associated with the satellite, tables for HIRS/3, AMSU-A and -B channel spectral response and HIRS/3 thermal band-correction coefficients, tables for AVHRR/3 infrared channel central wave numbers as a function of temperature, and the spectral response curves and actual values for the AVHRR/3 instrument. Many of these parameters are needed for calibration purposes.
Up to date information regarding abnormalities on the POES spacecraft and instruments can be found at: http://www.oso.noaa.gov/poesstatus/. This website allows a user to search and sort on any POES spacecraft, subsystem or instrument status. Additional details about the various satellites can be obtained by going to the NOAA/NESDIS/Office of Satellite Operations' (OSO) archive of weekly status reports at: http://noaasis.noaa.gov/NOAASIS/ml/podocs.html. The spectral response functions for the HIRS instruments can be downloaded as ASCII files or can be viewed in graphic format from the following website: http://www.orbit.nesdis.noaa.gov/smcd/spb/calibration/hirs/hirssrf.html. The spectral response functions are available for all the TIROS-N and ATN satellites series. The spectral response functions for the AVHRR instruments can be found at the following two websites: http://www.orbit.nesdis.noaa.gov/smcd/spb/calibration/avhrr/nrf.html for information on the visible channels and http://www.orbit.nesdis.noaa.gov/smcd/spb/fwu/solar_cal/spec_resp_func/index.html for information on the visible and IR channels.

In addition, this appendix contains information that was formerly reported in NOAA Technical Memorandum 107, Appendix B (Planet, 1988). This information includes coefficients necessary for calibration purposes which are primarily used by High Resolution Picture Transmission (HRPT) and Direct Sounder Broadcast (DSB) service users. Some of the coefficients may also be useful to Automatic Picture Transmission (APT) data users.
