GSICS Inter-Calibration
The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) and the Coordination Group for Meteorological Satellites (CGMS) have implemented a Global Space-based Inter-Calibration System (GSICS), which is intended to establish a consistent calibration of satellite measurements from different instruments operated by different satellite agencies and to tie these measurements to absolute references.
The role of the Global Space-based Inter-Calibration System (GSICS) with respect to the "end-to-end Sytem" for Meteorological Satellite Data
Accurate calibration of satellite instruments against common references allows taking the best benefit of space-based observations, in particular for climate change detection and improved weather and climate predictions.
