This document provides an initial assessment of the post-launch calibration and telemetry analysis for the METOP-A AVHRR instrument. It focuses on the evaluation of the TIR channel striping, noise measurements, and the co-registration of the geometric navigation. The study includes an overview of spectral data, including NDVI, Aerosol, SST, and Ice/Snow parameters, along with the status of the calibration efforts. Key metrics such as dark counts, stray light, and solar calibration adjustments are discussed to improve data accuracy for monitoring purposes.
