This work addresses the intercalibration of the Microwave Radiation Imager (MWRI) on the Chinese second-generation polar-orbiting meteorological satellite Fengyun 3C (FY-3C) against the Microwave Imager (GMI) on the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) Core Observatory, in which a modified Double...
