New Products from INSAT-3D/3DR

• Cloud Top properties and Clear Sky BT products from INSAT-3D/3DR imager

• IR window and IR-WV intercept methods are applied to generate cloud top temperature, pressure and effective cloud amount from INSAT-3D/3DR observations.

• Clear Sky BT products are generated for NWP data assimilation

Rapid ScanSOP of Rapid Scan Strategy of Imager of INSAT-3DR has been finalised for conducting it during Cyclone/ specific weather event. It has been successfully carried out for four cyclones i.e. VSCS LUBAN, TITLI, GAJA & ESCS FANI.

Normal mode scan area has been divided into 36 blocks in North-South directions such that:• Each block covers 0.50 in N-S direction. • No of Scan lines for Each block: 40• Time required to scan each block: 45

seconds

Extentofcoverage:6Blocks(3°coveragein234lines)• No.ofrepetitions:6• Timerequired:27minutes• (6blockswith6repetitions)

Calibration & Validation Activities

• Calibration Coefficients are being updated on monthly basis in IMDPS system by using

• GSICS corrections of last 30 days dynamically carried out by SAC Ahmedabad.

• IMD has started three calibration and validation activities such as:

a) IN-SITU CAL VAL of INSAT-3D/3DR (Site Selected-Bhuj, Gujarat)[IMD-ISRO]

b) IOGEO Project with Kalpana-1/INSAT-3D[IMD-EUMetSat]

c) Lunar Calibration using INSAT-3D/3DR [IMD-EUMetSat]
