Abstract
The forward radiative transfer routine has been used to remove the artefact caused by modulation on meteorological satellite‐sensor responses. This paper describes a direct method where images observed by the infrared channels aboard the Multi‐functional Transport Satellite (MTSAT‐1R) and Fengyun‐2C (FY‐2C) geostationary satellites are compared with those by the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) sensor aboard the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) polar‐orbiting satellites. The calibration differences between the polar orbiting and the geostationary satellites are found to be within 1 K of each other.
