HIRS FCDR The task is to create FCDR radiances for the infra-red (IR) of HIRS, harmonised along each sensor series. This will involve an assessment of the current operational algorithm using AIRS, IASI and simulated radiances as references and will also include a study on the impact of any non-linearity in the system. Spectral Response Function shifts will also be investigated and parameterised and uncertainties on the final radiances will be generated using the methods of WP 2. For the humidity sounding channels the UTH team (lead by UoH) will evaluate the new calibration. FCDR will then be converted to new easy-use FCDR format. AVHRR FCDR Apply best practice geolocation and ensure complete collocation record with reference sensors (AIRS/IASI/(A)ATSR). Collocate AVHRR with HIRS for all sensors and AVHRR with AVHRR (overlaps) and determine calibration parameters (fundamental from overlaps and time varying from HIRS). Obtain reflectance channel calibration from external projects (Cloud-CCI/SCOPE-CM). Reformat recalibrated AVHRR (both reflectance and IR) into new FCDR format. Create AVHRR/HIRS ensemble for uncertainty assessment.
FIDUCEO Albedo and Aerosol CDR from Meteosat-5 and -7This task will demonstrate the benefit of the recovered VIS band SRF on aerosol and surface albedo retrieval over land and sea surfaces. For that purpose, an advanced joint aerosol properties - surface reflectance retrieval algorithm will be developed to fully benefit from the recovered spectral response. A case study will be processed covering years 2004 to 2006. During that period comparisons will be made with other products. The new product derived from Meteosat-7 will be derived with and without accounting for the improved spectral response to illustrate the resulting benefit of the proposed new approach. The aerosol/surface albedo CDR will be generated with Meteosat-5 and -7 observations.
FIDUCEO AVHRR Aerosol dataset over Europe/Northern AfricaAn AVHRR aerosol retrieval over land will be made using a retrieval method adapted from AATSR where an AEROCOM/AERONET based climatology of mixing basic aerosol components will be used to prescribe the aerosol type. This will be processed over a 10 year timescale from AVHRR LAC (1km) over Europe and Northern Africa on board different platforms. Results will be validated on level 2 by comparing to AERONET ground-based sun photometer observations and compared to other satellite and model datasets including the Meteosat AOD from Task 5.3 on level 3 (monthly mean gridded). Applying the algorithm to old and new FCDR versions will allow to assess and quantify the impact of the improved FCDR. Uncertainty characterization on pixel level (level 2) will be developed and assessed through error propagation including the impact of the assumptions which have to be made in the ill-posed retrieval problem; error propagation to level3 gridded datasets will be conducted with the help of WP2.
Ensemble CDR of sea and lake STThis task is to create the first ensemble CDR for sea surface temperature (SST), and a stability-quantified lake surface water temperature (LSWT) CDR. The approach is to exploit techniques for independent ST retrieval established in SST CCI and GloboLakes, and apply these to the new ensemble AVHRR FCDR. The SST CDR will comprise an equi-probable ensemble temperature record from AVHRRs. The ensemble SST CDR will be a new advance that exposes the full uncertainty in SST time-series, including the spatio-temporal correlation of errors, in a manner that supports new exploitation in climate change assessment, climate model testing and re-analysis.
Software to implement FCDR functional requirement specificationThis task will build a set of generic open-source software modules for use in connection with uncertainty in common aspects of the processing chains for FCDRs.
FCDR of AVHRR for AATSR-to-SLSTR gap periodDerive from the AVHRR sensors, data which covers the period May 2012 to the present time in order to provide the most accurate and best characterised broad band, high resolution data to be used in the AATSR-to-SLSTR data gap. Uses best calibration for both instruments and combination with the data from the IASI sensor to create the best proxy FCDR for the AATSR during the gap period
Software to impliment CDR functional requirements specificationThis task will build a set of generic open-source software modules for use in connection with uncertainty, stability and validation of common aspects of the processing chains for CDRs. BC will develop software modules, from the functional spec produced by NPL, for use by all teams to implement the mathematical specification from NPL. (These will also be made publically available)
FCDR of HIRS for AATSR-to-SLSTR gap periodDerive from the HIRS sensors, data which covers the period May 2012 to the present time in order to provide the most accurate and best characterised broad band, high resolution data to be used in the AATSR-to-SLSTR data gap. Uses best calibration for both instruments and combination with the data from the IASI sensor to create the best proxy FCDR for the AATSR during the gap period.
Upper tropospheric humidity CDRs from HIRS and microwave soundersThe task is to produce CDRs of upper tropospheric humidity (UTH) from the FIDUCEO HIRS and microwave humidity sounder FCDRs. Infrared and microwave data can not be merged due to different altitude sampling/different cloud effects but will be evaluated jointly. This synergistic microwave/infrared view on UTH is novel in FIDUCEO, and is expected to shed new light on the long-term evolution of UTH.
AVHRR/HIRS FCDR harmonisation uncertainty and equi-probable ensembleCreate AVHRR/HIRS from the FCDRs (D4.1) ensemble for uncertainty assessment.
Meteosat VIS FCDRUsing an advanced reverse engineering methods to characterise the variation of the MVIRI SRF in the VIS band including detailed validation, a new calibration of the VIS channel will be derived and a new FCDR will be developed for Meteosat First Genertation data. It will be output in the new FCDR format.
Software for easy CDR formatSoftware will be made available to read and write out and/or convert to the new format. Software will also be made available in a number of languages (Fortran, C, IDL).

Microwave humidity sounder Version 2 FCDRThe deliverable is to create FCDR radiances for all five channels of the entire series of microwave humidity sounders: SSM/T2, AMSU-B, and MHS. A consistent calibration model will be used across the entire satellite series. Known issues to take into account include sensor offsets, non-linear calibration parameters, and scan-biases (for early AMSU-B sensors). UoH: will carry out this task in close collaboration with the Met Office UK (EUMETSAT CM-SAF), which have an on-going microwave FCDR effort that is expected to deliver a first version FCDR around Month 15 of FIDUCEO. During Month 1-15, FIDUCEO will join this on-going effort, focusing on the recalibration from raw instrument counts, metrological aspects and rigorous error analysis, all aspects so far lacking. During Month 15-20, the first version FCDR will be evaluated with the FIDUCEO metrological toolkit, and also will be cross-compared with the HIRS FCDR. During Month 20-32 a Version 2 FCDR will be constructed, based on the evaluation results [30 months].
FIDUCEO data converted to new formatsUse data formatting input and output tools to create consistent FCDR and CDR versions in ‘easy’ and ‘specialist’ formats. Undertake file verification and consistency checks.
NPL will, with support of the FCDR and CDR teams, develop detailed traceability chains for the FCDRs using tools developed in QA4ECV. Gaps in the current traceability will be identified and sources of error and uncertainty will be pinpointed. This will help to identify the different sources of error and uncertainty, including how to assess their correlation properties (i.e. to treat systematic, random and ‘locally systematic’ effects appropriately).
Metrological assessment of FIDUCEO CDRsThe CDRs will be assessed for mutual/relative consistency and stability (trend artefacts and step changes), both within and across sensor-series. An estimate will be made of the uncertainty associated with the CDR with recommendations on how this will be developed further. The results will be documented.
