The Ice Cloud Imager (ICI) is the sub-millimetre-wave conically scanning radiometric imager that will be on board the new EPS-SG satellite series. It has channels from 183 up to 664GHz.
The ICI channels do not see the surface with high contrast because of the high absorption of the atmosphere. As such, for the geolocation validation of the ICI instrument, it is necessary to develop new methodologies and identify proper targets. The goal of the visiting scientist activity is to perform an initial assessment of the landmark method in support of ICI cal/val geolocation validation.
