Scientific paper

The radiometric functions of the VISSRs of the GMSs are evaluated. The VISSR is utilized to obtain visible and infrared images of earth and its cloud cover using an optical telescope and detector system, and it employs staircase brightness, space brightness, sun brightness, and calibration shutter data for VISSR data processing. The IR shutter calibration systems of the GMS and GMS-2 are compared; it is observed that the thermal design change incorporated into the GMS-2 limits the capability of IR shutter calibration and results in the brightness temperature difference between GMS and GMS-2.
