MWTS Calibration and Validation

This page provides information on calibration and validation of Micro-Wave Temperature Sounder (MWTS) onboard FY-3 series satellites.

There are three generations of MWTS, the first is MWTS-I onboard FY-3A and FY-3B, the second is MWTS-II onboard FY-3C and FY-3D, the third is MWTS-III onboard FY-3E, FY-3F and FY-3H.
