NOAA has two MTSAT-2 water vapor channel SRFs, the original one from the package NOAA received about 5 years ago (black line)
The newer SRF (blue line) is not the same as the original SRF (in black), but the original looks more realistic, as the one in blue has a straight line at the left shoulder position.
The different SRF causes about 0.5K difference at the homogeneous scenes

GSICS Instrument Event Log Activities: Past Efforts
Feedback About Instrument Monitoring and Anomaly Reporting at Joint GRWG-IV/GDWG-III Workshop
All GSICS partners shall propose contents of the performance monitoring pages which they intend to display on their own web sites.
ACTION GDWG03_06
NOAA has up-and-running monitoring systems for GEO and LEO satellites Attempts have been made during the course of 2009 to solicit
instrument monitoring or anomaly information web sites from members There has been a lack of response The GCC would like a way forward for Action GDWG03_06.
21 April 2023Slide: 22
GSICS Instrument Event Log Activities: 17/02/2011 Web Meeting & 25/03/2011 Joint Meeting
Clarified that this activity is related to an action on the GSICS Exec Panel from CGMS to "define what should be the key factors that need to be displayed in the GSICS Instrument Monitoring web sites".
Resolved the initial requirements for the GSICS instrument event logsThe GSICS instrument event logs for a given satellite instrument shall:Provide sufficient information for the user to
• Gain awareness of anomalies, maneuvers and other events associated with that instrument
• Resolve, adapt to and/or mitigate errors in their data processing streams caused by these events
Not overwhelm the user with information that is not understandable (acronyms etc.). Link to more details such as daily email notifications Be hosted by each GPRC
Action JOINT06_03 - Provision of a draft template for the instrument event log by 31 May 2011
21 April 2023Slide: 23
Each GSICS GPRC will us a web interface to created, archived, and disseminated provide information on instrument event and calibration updates.
Web page structure• The front web page for these logs will allow users to link to the satellite and instrument for
which they require information• The back web pages will allow the users to access information to scheduled and anomalous
instrument events and calibration updates that significantly affect data quality The web pages are to be accessible, at minimum, to GSICS members The dissemination of instrument information that violates the national
export control laws of each participating GSICS member is discouraged

Is the list of possible events or updates complete? Is it possible to create an e-mail notification if significant events or
calibration updates occur? How do we acquire the information? Often this information may be
buried in much longer reports that would have to be manually extracted to keep the event/calibration update logs up-to-date
Do we do this for historical instruments, or just moving forward? Will we be competing with our own operational agencies in providing
this service? Is it even possible to make the event logs private to GSICS Members
only, or do we even need this level of privacy?
