Abstract
The geostationary Earth radiation budget (GERB) instrument is scheduled to be launched on the Meteosat Second Generation (MSG) series of satellites with the intention of measuring the total radiative energy output of the Earth to an accuracy of 0.5%. Although the footprint of a pixel of the GERB detector is 44 km square at the sub-satellite point, it is necessary to locate the position of a pixel to 3 km. This paper discusses why this is necessary and how it will be achieved. It describes the instrument, the techniques used to achieve the high positional accuracy and the data processing system that will generate the data products.
