RAMM/CIRA Quarterly Report

April May June 2002



   
GOES Science Tests (Hillger, Knaff, Weaver)
   
 

GOES-12:

Additional analysis of data from the GOES-12 Science Tests (fall of 2001) has been completed. Imager noise is 0.22 K or less, and detector-to-detector striping averaged over an image is small but measurable, on the same order of magnitude as the noise. Analysis of both imager noise and striping has been posted on the web at:

A draft of the GOES-12 Science Test Technical Report, including the results of analyses of GOES-12 Science Test data at CIRA, has been forwarded to the other two editors (T. Schmit and J. Daniels) for inclusion of the contributions from CIMSS and FPDT.


GOES-11:

GOES-11 was reactivated in a continuous 5-min imaging mode over a two-week window (3-19 June) to support the International H2O Project (IHOP). Data for several cases were collected.
