Data package for opportunistic constant target matchup study

Description

Opportunistic constant target matching is a new method for satellite intercalibration. It is complementary to the traditional simultaneous nadir overpass (SNO) method because it can provide warm matchups in cases where the SNO method provides only cold matchups. A geostationary infrared sensor (SEVIRI) is used to select constant target matches for two different microwave sensors (NOAA 18 and Metop A). This is the data package for a publication where we discuss the main assumptions and limitations of the new method and explore its statistical properties with a simple Monte Carlo simulation and with real observations from NOAA 18 and Metop A.
