| description abstract | GOES high-resolution visible imagery is used to define the spatial resolution and scan geometry required for an advanced infrared sounder to fly on future polar-orbiting satellites. The definition is based on optimizing the probability of achieving one or more cloud-free infrared sounder fields of view within the footprint of an Advanced Microwave Sounding Unit (AMSU) assumed to have a linear resolution of 64 km. It is found that an instrument with about 8 km linear (10 km circular), or better, resolution that samples nine, or more, spatially independent fields of view within each AMSU footprint is needed to provide a high probability of achieving uncontaminated, by cloud, infrared sounding radiance observations. | |
