To meet the growing demand for quantitative remote sensing applications in GIIRS radiometric calibration, this paper proposes a temperature field-driven adaptive scan mirror thermal radiation interference correction method. Based on the on-orbit deep space observation data from the Fengyun-4B satellite, this paper systematically analyzes the thermal radiation interference characteristics caused by scan mirror deflection and constructs the first scan mirror thermal radiation response model suitable for GIIRS. On the basis of this model, this paper further introduces the dynamic variation characteristics of the internal thermal environment of the instrument, enabling adaptive response and compensation for radiation disturbances. This method overcomes the limitations of relying on static calibration parameters and improves the generality and robustness of the model. Independent validation results show that this method effectively suppresses the interference of scan mirror deflection on instrument background radiation and enhances the consistency of the deep space and blackbody spectral diurnal variation time series. After correction, the average system bias of the interference-sensitive channel decreased by 94%, and the standard deviation of radiance bias from 2.5 mW/m²·sr·cm⁻¹ to below 0.5 mW/m²·sr·cm⁻¹. In the O-B test, the maximum improvement in relative standard deviation reached 0.15 K.

The Geostationary Interferometric Infrared Sounder (GIIRS) onboard the Fengyun-4B satellite plays a critical role in numerical weather prediction and extreme weather monitoring. To meet the requirements of quantitative remote sensing and high-precision operational applications for radiometric calibration accuracy, this study, based on pre-launch calibration experiments, conducts a novel modeling analysis of the coupling between stray radiation at the input side and the system’s nonlinearity, and proposes a correction method for nonlinear coupling errors. This method explicitly models and physically traces the calibration residuals caused by stray radiation introduced via non-nominal optical paths under the effect of system nonlinearity, which are related to the radiance of the observed target. Experimental results show that, within the brightness temperature range of 200–320 K, the calibration bias is reduced from approximately 0.7 to 0.3–0.4 K, with good consistency and stability observed across channels and pixels.
