Insuring incorporation of improvements to the GOES Sounder vertical profile retrieval algorithm into
NOAA/NESDIS operations
An improved version of the GOES Sounder retrieval algorithm is being implemented (in McIDAS), and put to the test, before going to “ops”.
Current GOES Sounder products may offer a practical, realistic estimate of how relevant the GOES-R “legacy Sounder” products requirement may be for end users (NWS forecasters).
