Abstract :
The FY-4 is the new generation of China´s Geosynchronous meteorological satellite, the main payload onboard the satellite is the Advanced Geosynchronous Radiation Imager (AGRI),Geosynchronous Interferometric Infrared Sounder(GΠRS), Lighting Mapping( LMI) and Space Environment Package(SEP).The first experiment satellite FY-4A is scheduled to be launched on 2015. The AGRI will provide an significant advancements over the current FY-2 VISSR in several key areas, including more spectral channel, faster imaging and higher spatial resolution. The AGRI channel performance and top-of-atmosphere (TOA) radiance simulation on Typhoon Sinlaku 2008 will be discussed in this paper.
