7.4. Geolocation Error Information 1

Daytime Observation Figure 7-3_1

Figure 7-3 Geolocation error for Geometric DB Version 2.0


The longitude and latitude errors can be expressed by a 6th order polynomial with a good approximation.

  λC = λM - Δλ
  φCM - Δφ

where
  λC : corrected longitude
  λM : measured longitude
  Δλ: longitude error
  φC: corrected latitude
  φM: measured latitude
  Δφ: latitude error

  Δλ(or Δφ) = a0 + a2φ2 + a4φ4 + a6φ6

The corrected longitude and latitude values can be obtained by subtracting the above mentioned error from the measured values. The corrected accuracy will be better than 50 m.

This error will be corrected for the Level-1 products with a soon-to-be-updated geometric DB version.
