description abstractThe spatial and temporal continuity of the infrared measurements from the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES)-8 sounder data are investigated, and an experimental processing approach is presented. Spatial filtering and cloud detection are performed in a joint algorithm: the preparation of the data for sounding analysis starts with spatial smoothing, followed by cloud detection, followed by averaging the clear-sky (cloud free) subsamples. Analysis of the sounder images reveals the presence of coherent noise on large spatial scales in some of the spectral bands. Analysis of a temporal sequence of spatially smoothed sounder images reveals regions of unphysical hourly change likely induced by instrument noise. A nonlinear temporal?spatial filtering algorithm is presented and tested that improves the noise filtering for the sounder spectral measurements and the thermodynamical spatial and temporal consistency of the sounding retrievals in the troposphere.
