NEdN is calculated using a minimum of 300 interferogram measurements of ICT and
DS targets for each FOV
Random component of the NEdN is also estimated analyzing Earth Scene (ES) data
through the  PCA tools and compared with NEdN estimated using ICT and DS data
Compare on-orbit  NEdN to ground-based measurements and predicted performance
Trend NEdN performance through different phases of Cal/Val
Cal/Val phases: All
Data type: RDRs and SDRs

:
On-orbit NEdN is well within spec and is the same as during ground TVAC tests
NEdN is very stable. No outages are observed during almost twelve months on-orbit

NEdN estimated from all three targets (ES, ICT, and DS) agree very well,
Small differences between ICT and DS derived NEdN are most probably due to
different target temperatures (radiance fluxes)
NEdN stability is illustrated on trend graphs

CrIS NEdT performance better than  spec requirements (T=270K)
CrIS has smaller noise levels than AIRS and IASI even at full spectral
resolution in   MWIR and SWIR spectral bands
NEdT was estimated using SDL PCA approach from ES data retaining 30
PCs
CrIS exhibits smaller noise level in LWIR (~x3.5) and SWIR (~x3)  spectral
bands than noise estimated from IASI and AIRS spectra reduced to CrIS
spectral resolution

Method that found the inflection point of a cubic fit to 4 consecutive field-of-views
resulted in ambiguous results

672 collocated radiosonde (over ocean, clear sky, nigh time) data were
collected during June-July 2012
173 locations passed clear-sky criterion
BT in selected window channels were corrected for atmospheric
transmission (AIRS team approach: H. Aumann, SPIE proc., 2003)
Corrected BT in selected window channels is then compared with SST
from MyOcean site (satellite observations and modeling field data)

  1. SDL CrIS Provisional SDR Status Review October 23, 2012 Mark Esplin, Vladimir Zavyalov, Mark Greenman, Ben Esplin, Deron Scott, Kevin Grant, Brandon Graham, Charles Mayor and Lee Phillips

  2. SDL Cal/Val Tasks CrIS Task #1 Interferometer Optimization (Completed) CrIS Task #3 Amplifier Gain Check and Adjustment (Completed) CrIS Task #4 Bit Trim and Impulse Mask Check (Completed for present resolution, assessing full resolution bit-trim mask) CriIS Task #5 Radiometric Noise Assessment (NEdN) CrIS Task #8 Geolocation Calibration CrIS Task #9 ICT External Environmental Model Tuning CrIS Task #12 Spikes and Saturated Interferogram Analysis CrIS Task #13 Ice Contamination Analysis CrIS Task #14 Correlated/Uncorrelated noise characterization 2

  3. CrIS Task 4: Bit-Trim and Impulse Mask Check OBJECTIVE: Insure that the bit-trim and impulse masks are set properly DESCRIPTION: Search data for occurrences of bit-trim and impulse mask errors Find very warm scenes Find maximum magnitude of interferograms for each displacement position Insure maximum interferogram values are below bit-trim mask Evaluate bit-trim masks for adequate margins RESULTS: The bit-trim mask is properly set for CrIS present resolution Impulse mask errors are rare and are properly flagged in the SDR when they occur Evaluation of the proper bit-trim mask for the full resolution data is ongoing

  4. Present LWIR Bit-Trim Mask Absolute value of maximum interferogram at each position Launch bit-trim mask was inadequate Present bit-trim mask shows margin against bit-trim errors Hot scenes (orbit 01444 over Australia) (Feb 7, 2012) 4

  5. Full Resolution MWIR Bit-Trim Mask On-orbit test bit-trim mask excessively conservative Extended present bit-trim mask shows margin Orbit 1671 over Australia (February 23,2012) Australian outback very warm in February 5

  6. Full Resolution SWIR Bit-Trim Mask On-orbit test SWIR bit-trim mask wasteful of bandwidth Interferogram would saturate before hitting bit-trim mask Extended present bit-trim mask has margin Orbit 1671 over Australia (February 23,2012) 6

  7. CrIS Task 5: Radiometric Noise Assessment TASK LEAD: SDL OBJECTIVE: Characterize the CrIS NEDN and its trending over time DESCRIPTION: NEdN is calculated using a minimum of 300 interferogram measurements of ICT and DS targets for each FOV Random component of the NEdN is also estimated analyzing Earth Scene (ES) data through the PCA tools and compared with NEdN estimated using ICT and DS data Compare on-orbit NEdN to ground-based measurements and predicted performance Trend NEdN performance through different phases of Cal/Val Cal/Val phases: All Data type: RDRs and SDRs RESULTS: On-orbit NEdN is well within spec and is the same as during ground TVAC tests NEdN is very stable. No outages are observed during almost twelve months on-orbit CrIS NEdN is smaller than AIRS and IASI NEdN

  8. Golden day 09/20/12 vs 01/23/12: NEdN estimated from ICT data Orbit # 1241, January 23, 2012 Orbit # 4656, September 20, 2012 Results from IDPS SDR product are practically the same as SDL NEdN ICT data MWIR FOV7 is out family as it was during ground TVAC4 and S/C TVAC ground tests NEdNs of all other FOVs are well within spec values. NEdN is very stable from the instrument activation in January 21,2012

  9. Golden day 09/20/12 vs. 01/23/12: NEdN estimated from DS data Orbit # 1241, January 23, 2012 Orbit # 4656, September 20, 2012 NEdN estimated from all three targets (ES, ICT, and DS) agree very well, Small differences between ICT and DS derived NEdN are most probably due to different target temperatures (radiance fluxes) NEdN stability is illustrated on trend graphs

  10. ICT NEdN trending ICT derived NEdN (from January 21) IDPS NEdN product (from April 4) NEdN was averaged over all FOVs and over spectral regions: LWIR: 650-750 ; 750-900 (ice contamination); and 750-1095 cm-1 MWIR: Entire band 1210-1750 cm-1 SWIR: Entire band 2155-2550 cm-1 NEdN derived from both ICT and DS real spectra is very stable

  11. CrIS NEdT vs. AIRS and IASI CrIS Spec. IASI Original IASI - CrIS Res. CrIS On-Orbit CrIS On-Orbit Full Res AIRS - CrIS Res. Radiance (mW/m2 sr cm-1) 100 NEdT, 0K 10-1 800 1000 1200 1400 Wavenumber (cm-1) 1600 1800 2000 2200 2400 2600 CrIS NEdT performance better than spec requirements (T=270K) CrIS has smaller noise levels than AIRS and IASI even at full spectral resolution in MWIR and SWIR spectral bands NEdT was estimated using SDL PCA approach from ES data retaining 30 PCs CrIS exhibits smaller noise level in LWIR (~x3.5) and SWIR (~x3) spectral bands than noise estimated from IASI and AIRS spectra reduced to CrIS spectral resolution

  12. CrIS Task 8: Geolocation Calibration OBJECTIVE: Verify CrIS geolocation mapping parameters to sub-pixel accuracy (requirement is less than 1 km) DESCRIPTION: Use the radiance contrast between sea and land to determine shoreline positions Compare measured shoreline crossing with known shoreline positions Method that found the inflection point of a cubic fit to 4 consecutive field-of-views resulted in ambiguous results Simulations show that non-uniform CrIS spatial sampling likely cause for difficulties Method that models shoreline radiances (land/sea fraction) developed We will apply method to enough data to give statistically significant results RESULTS: Preliminary results show geolocation shifts Continuing analysis needed to quantify shifts and uncertainties

  13. Geolocation Method Land CrIS FOV footprint Calculate the land/sea fraction Estimate expected radiance for each CrIS FOV Shift FOV footprint locations to minimize squared differences between observed and calculated radiances Method used by Ralf Bennartz (1998) 13

  14. Residuals between Calculated and Observed Radiances After Shift Before Shift Gulf of Suez at 900 cm-1 IDPS SDRs, June 17, 2012 orbit 03307 Continuing to optimize for higher computation speed Plan to apply to more cases to build up statistics Will compare result with NOAA/STAR 14

  15. CrIS Task 9: ICT External Environmental Radiance Model Assessment and Tuning OBJECTIVE: Verify that CrIS radiance calibration is not being significantly affected by changes in ICT external environmental or other effects DESCRIPTION: Evaluate changes in CrIS response through an orbit Examine FOV to FOV differences Examine changes in radiance when the sun impinges on the spacecraft Compare radiance with other sensors such as VIIRS, AIRS and IASI Compare radiance with ground truth RESULTS: The radiometer calibration of the CrIS sensor is within specification There are small radiometer uncertainties that continue to be investigated

  16.
