On November 27, 1997 the CERES Proto-Flight Model (PFM) instrument package was launched on the NASA Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) spacecraft National Space Development Agency) NASA /Japan launch vehicle placed the TRMM spacecraft into a low-inclination 35-deg, 350-km altitude orbit. Analysis of the first thirteen months of on-orbit internal calibration and calibration validation studies indicate that the ground-based radiometric calibrations, which were tied to ITS'90 have been successfully carried into orbit to within 0.12, 0.08, and 0.29 percent for the Total, Window and Shortwave channels respectively. Additionally, these analyses have indicated that on-orbit radiometric stability has remained at levels of better than 0.13. 0.2 and 0.2-percent for the Total Window and Shortwave channels. In TOA these levels correspond to magnitudes of less than 0.3, 0.2 and 0.15 v /sq m.
