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

Convolution with sample atmospheres SRF obtained from: – 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

RevE-RevD Convolution Differences Imager Band: 2346 US Std “Wet” “Dry” “Cold” Brightness Temperature Differences in K
