1. GOES-14 Imager RevE SRFs Cooperative Institute for Meteorological Satellite Studies (CIMSS) University of Wisconsin 18 Dec 2009

2. Convolution with sample atmospheres SRF obtained from: – http://www.oso.noaa.gov/goes/goes-calibration/goes-imager-srfs.htm Both RevE and RevD Imager IR SRFs are convolved with 4 sample atmospheric spectra – The U.S. Standard Atmosphere (1976) spectra – A “cold” spectra – A “wet” spectra – A “dry” spectra Convolution in radiance (mW/m2/ster/cm-1) and then converted to brightness temperature (K) using inverse Planck Function – RevE – RevD shows how the RevE SRFs have changed

3. RevE-RevD Convolution Differences Imager Band: 2346 US Std 0.060.02-0.04-0.06 “Wet” 0.040.02-0.01-0.06 “Dry” 0.060.02-0.04-0.07 “Cold” 0.060.02-0.03-0.05 Brightness Temperature Differences in K
