RECOVERY OF MVIRI/VIS BAND SPECTRAL RESPONSE

A new reverse engineering method for the recovery of the MVIRI/VIS band launch-time sensor spectral response and its spectral ageing is presented here. This method, developed in the framework of the H2020 FIDUCEO project, supports the generation of a fundamental climate data record from archived MVIRI data. This reverse engineering method relies on advanced radiative transfer modelling over PICS and inverse modelling techniques. It has been verified recovering the SEVIRI/HRVIS band that has been accurately characterized on ground and then applied on Met-7 MVIRI/VIS band data.
