Re: Climate Data Records for Reanalysis
FCDR inter-calibraion is performed in detector level by provide digital calibration coefficients, which can be time dependent. First, it is needed to identify a reference (e.g., most advanced radiance observation from current satellite sensors or other observations, such as from airborne sensors) so that adjusted calibration coefficients can be determined and applied to obtain calibrated radiance. We normally request our data production PIs to provide uncertainty estimates along with the radiance/brightness data. For visible FCDR radiance, uncertainty is mainly time dependent. However, for IR or microwave FCDR radiance, uncertainty can be both time and location dependence.

Sarah will report the MAPP-CTB 2014 project on improving the representation of aerosol-cloud in NCEP global models.
not quite a CDR for assimilation?
