1 MHS Instrument Pre-Launch Characteristics Jörg Ackermann, EUMETSAT, October 2017 The main objective of satellite instruments pre-launch characterisation is to ensure that the observed instrument performance is sufficient to fulfil the corresponding instrument, system, and end-user requirements. Moreover, the instrument calibration parameters which are needed to run the associated product processing chains, are extracted from these pre-launch measurements. End-user requirements are determined in close cooperation with selected representatives from the user community during the early programme development phase. For use of the data by e.g. NWP (Numerical Weather Prediction) centres, focus is given on operational aspects which include nearreal time processing and dissemination, and demanding high spatial and temporal resolution of products. In particular, for operational sounders in the microwave region, the channel selection is mainly tailored to retrieve vertical profiles of atmospheric temperature and humidity, whereas the derivation of other parameters like cloud properties, precipitation rates, or surface properties has lower priority. The increased use of data from spaceborne instruments for climate monitoring has raised new issues that can differ from constraints inherent to operational processing: whereas the noise level can be reduced by spatial or temporal averaging, even small biases that might be acceptable for operational products can make the detection of a potential climate signal impossible. In addition, the determination of long term trends of atmospheric and surface variables often requires a reprocessing algorithm with a consolidated set of instrument calibration parameters used for the whole lapse of the instrument lifetime, or even longer, for the time span covered by measurements of a whole instrument series. Such a reference set of calibration parameters also supports intercomparisons between different retrievals, and the assessment of absolute product quality (e.g. radiative transfer calculations with refined radiometric properties, impact of channel co-alignment on multi-channel products). To support reprocessing activities for the Microwave Humidity Sounder MHS flown onboard the U.S. Weather Satellites NOAA-18 and NOAA-19, and the European Metop series, users have expressed a keen interest in receiving relevant instrument pre-launch information which is beyond the calibration parameter data sets of operational product processing. Therefore, EUMETSAT has extracted from the EIDP (End Item Data Package) provided by the instrument manufacturer, the following pre-launch information for each of the five MHS instruments: 1. Channel dependent values of Noise Equivalent Delta Temperatures (NEdT) 2. Channel and scene temperature dependent values of temperature biases 3. Channel dependent bandwidth characteristics 4. Channel dependent pointing accuracy and resulting co-alignment 5. Channel dependent antenna pattern
2 The five individual MHS instrument models are assigned to the satellites as listed below: Prototype Flight Model (PFM) operated onboard NOAA-18 (N18) Flight Model 2 (FM2) operated onboard NOAA-19 (N19) Flight Model 3 (FM3) operated onboard Metop-A (aka Metop-2 or M02) Flight Model 5 (FM5) operated onboard Metop-B (aka Metop-1 or M01) Flight Model 4 (FM4) will be operated onboard Metop-C (aka Metop-3 or M03) The following catalogue comprises a graphical representation of the characterisation files included in this data package and explains the naming convention used. Please note: when you use the following data sets, please give credit to Airbus Defence & Space for design, manufacture & test (under EUMETSAT contract & operation) of MHS.
3 NEdT and Bias The prelaunch values of NEdT and biases are given at four different instrument temperature plateaux, whereas the QBS (Q-Band Source) temperature of channel 5 is used as the reference. One has 0 C ± 2 C for T1, 12 C ± 2 C for T2, 24 C ± 2 C for T3, and 36 C ± 2 C for T4, respectively. Furthermore, tests were conducted for PIE (Processor and Interface Electronics) A and B, and the Local Oscillators (LO) configuration is either A or B for all channels. For all presented test results, the SPE (Signal Processing Electronics) specification is nominal, and PIE is A, since for PIE B, only scene temperatures of 280 K were considered during the pre-launch testing. Combinations of the above listed configurations lead to a number of test cases, whose results are documented in separate files. The naming convention of an individual file is: Instrument Instrument Temperature Plateau PIE selection LO Selection SPE selection.out with: Instrument (2 or 3 characters): Pfm,F2R,FM3,FM5,F4 Temperature Plateau (2 characters): t1,t2,t3,t4, or T1, T2, T3, T4, or C1, C2, C3, C4 PIE (1 character): a or A LO (1 character): a,b, or A,B SPE (1 character): n or N.OUT: extension of all files The common format of the files is: Header line with temperatures of QBS1 and QBS5 in deg C, and the file name Measurement data with each line containing scene temperature, values of NEdT for channel 1 to 5, and temperature biases of channels 1 to 5 in Kelvin All values of NEdT and biases given in the individual files are displayed on the following pages, whereas the instrument data are sorted in chronological order with respect to the launch dates of the corresponding satellites, i.e. PFM, FM2, FM3, FM5, FM4. Note that in this version of the data package, values of NEdT for FM4 do not reflect the expected inflight performance, since the instrument is currently under repair (status: October 2017).

89 Bandwidth For each channel and all instruments, characterisation of the bandwidth is given by pre-launch measurements of the Power Gain at the -40dB and the -3dB-level. Furthermore, the fulfilment of requirements related to centre frequency stability and sideband imbalance is assessed. If those requirements are met, it is assumed that the centre frequency is the nominal one and that the upper and the lower passband characteristics are the same, i.e. pass band specifications are mirrored with respect to the nominal centre frequency. Results of the bandwidth characteristics is given in the file Channel_Bandwidth_Characteristics.txt, whereas the instrument data are sorted in chronological order with respect to the launch dates of the corresponding satellites, i.e. PFM, FM2, FM3, FM5, FM4. The format of the file is: 11 Header lines Block with 6 lines for each instrument, line 1 gives the instrument identifier, lines 2 to 6 contain the following information: Channel Number (H1 to H5), Lower Passband Lower -40 db (GHz), Lower Passband Lower -3 db (GHz), Lower Passband Upper -3 db (GHz), Lower Passband Upper -40 db (GHz), Passband Centre Freq (GHz), Upper Passband Lower -40 db (GHz), Upper Passband Lower -3 db (GHz), Upper Passband Upper -3 db (GHz), Upper Passband Upper -40 db (GHz) All values are displayed in the following figure.

91 Pointing Accuracy and Co-Alignment Pointing is measured pre-launch for each detector unit (H1, H2, H3/4, and H5). Let and denote the two angles describing the coordinates of an arbitrary point on a spherical shell with the origin for both angles being the nadir viewing direction of the MHS instrument. Theoretically, to cover the whole sphere, the azimuth ranges from -180 to +180, and the elevation takes values between -90 and 90. This convention implies that defines the instrument scanning direction, and the orientation of is approximately in the flight direction of the orbiter. The following figure illustrates the convention used for and in a right handed Cartesian coordinate system centred at the scan axis of the MHS instrument.
92 In particular, pointing is measured relatively to the following four positions of the scan mirror: = Earth Pixel 1 (E1) = 0 Nadir View (NAD) = Earth Pixel 90 (E90) = Space View (SV) Results of the pointing are summarized in the file MHS_Pointing.txt, whereas the instrument data are sorted in chronological order with respect to the launch dates of the corresponding satellites, i.e. PFM, FM2, FM3, FM5, FM4. The format of the file is: Nominal Values of and for NAD, E1, E90 and SV Block with 21 lines for each instrument, line 1 gives the instrument identifier, lines 2 to 21 contain the following information for each of the four detectors: Channel Number (1, 2, 3/4, 5), Measured values of and for NAD, E1, E90 and SV All values are displayed in the following five figures for PFM, FM2, FM3, FM5, and FM4, respectively.

96 FM5_M01 H1 H2 H3/4 H5 Nominal E1 NAD E SV
97 FM4_M03 H1 H2 H3/4 H5 Nominal E1 NAD E90 SV
98 Antenna Patterns Antenna Patterns are measured pre-launch for each detector unit (H1, H2, H3/4, and H5). All patterns were pre-processed in order to have the same angular definition of the pointing direction: let and denote the two angles describing the coordinates of an arbitrary point on a spherical shell with the origin for both angles being the nadir viewing direction of the MHS instrument. Theoretically, to cover the whole sphere, the azimuth ranges from -180 to +180, and the elevation takes values between -90 and 90. This convention implies that defines the instrument scanning direction, and the orientation of is approximately in the flight direction of the orbiter. The following figure illustrates the convention used for and in a right handed Cartesian coordinate system centred at the scan axis of the MHS instrument. Let angles bor and bor denote the actual viewing direction of the antenna boresight peak. For the nominal case, bor is always 0, and bor amounts , 0, 49,44, and for Earth Pixel 1
99 (E1), Nadir View (NAD), Earth Pixel 90 (E90), and Space View (SV), respectively. Note that the nominal space view positions for an operating MHS instrument are 69.15, 73.60, and and hence are slightly different from the value used during the instrument testing in the thermal vacuum chamber. The following different types of data sets of the antenna efficiencies are available for each instrument and the four detector units H1, H2, H3/4 and H5: High-resolution 2D-raster scans with the following ranges: 2 2 and bor 2 2, with being the respective angle of E1, NAD, E90, and SV; bor bor the resolution is 5 in both directions, which gives values for each data set. Low-resolution 2D-raster scans for each channel with the following ranges: and bor 12 12, with being the respective angle of E1, NAD, E90, and SV; bor bor the resolution is 5 in both directions, which gives values for each data set. Across-scan main cuts with 90 90, and being the respective angle of E1, NAD, bor E90, and SV; the resolution of is 5, which gives 721 values for each data set. bor Along-scan main cuts with 90 90, and 0 for E1, NAD, E90, SV, respectively; the resolution of is 5, which gives 721 values for each data set. Thus, for each instrument and each different type of data sets, there are 16 files (permutations of the 4 directions E1, NAD, E90, SV and the 4 detector units H1, H2, H3/4, H5). This gives for each instrument 16 x 4 = 64 individual data files. The naming convention of an individual file is: Data Type Channel Number Viewing Direction _ Instrument _ Satellite.OUT with: Data Type (2 or 3 characters): RS, LR, CAZ, CEL for High resolution raster scans, low resolution raster scans, across-scan main cuts, and along-scan main cuts, respectively. Channel Number (1 character): 1, 2, 3, 5 for detectors H1, H2, H3/4, and H5, respectively. Viewing direction (4 or 5 characters): E101, NE01, E901, SV01 (main cuts), or 2E101, 2NE01, 2E901, 2SV01 (raster scans) for E1, NAD, E90, and SV, respectively. Instrument (3 characters): PFM, FM2, FM3, FM5, FM4 Satellite (3 characters): N18, N19, M02, M01, M03.OUT: extension of all files The format of the raster scan files is: Header line with the file name and a normalization factor in db. When the normalization factor is added to the antenna efficiencies, the original measurement values are retrieved.
100 Measurement data with each line containing the actual angular position (for the and in deg, followed by the normalized (i.e. the boresight peak is 0.) co-polar and cross-polar antenna efficiencies in db The format of the main cut files is: Header line with the file name and the information that no normalization has been performed Measurement data with each line containing the actual angular position (for the along-scan cuts) or in deg (for the across-scan cuts), followed by the measured co-polar and crosspolar antenna efficiencies in db All output files are plotted in the following figures. The co-polar antenna efficiencies of the raster scans are displayed as isolines with unit db on a (, )-grid centred at nominal boresight direction of E1, NAD, E90, and SV, respectively. The co-polar and cross-polar antenna efficiencies of the main cuts are plotted as functions of for the along-scan cuts, and of for the across-scan cuts, respectively. The plots are sorted in chronological order with respect to the launch dates of the corresponding satellites, i.e. PFM, FM2, FM3, FM5, FM4.
