GOES Sounder Spectral Response Functions

GOES-8 through GOES-13 Sounder Spectral Response Functions

Sets of spectral response functions (SRFs) are being made available for the each of the sounders on GOES-8 through GOES-13. These sets were provided by ITT, the instruments' manufacturer. The contents of the first set, "currently operational," are the SRFs that have been used over the lifetimes of sounders for operational production of data products at NESDIS. The second set, "updated," were provided by ITT more recently and are believed to represent more accurately the true SRFs of the instruments. Currently, NESDIS does not plan to switch to the updated SRFs in its processing, because we believe that the inconvenience and magnitude of the effort to do so outweighs the expected benefit of the small improvements that might be realized in product performance. Nonetheless, the new SRFs are being made available here to the user community.
