This research explores the use of SSES (Satellite System Estimation System) to refine the accuracy of GOES L2P (Level 2 Product) retrievals. By integrating additional information that cannot be derived from ancillary data alone, we analyze how retrieval bias correlates with clear-sky transmittance and air-sea temperature differences. Our findings suggest that the sensitivity to air-sea temperature variations increases as transmittance decreases, leading to a derived bias model based on offset and gradient terms. The results highlight the importance of considering these factors in accurate satellite data interpretation.

GOES-L2P SSES estimation • Using SSES to provide additional information that cannot be calculated from L2P ancillary data • 1st cut assumption is that retrieval bias depends on • Clear-sky transmittance (calculated from NCEP → CRTM) • Air-sea temperature difference (currently NCEP only) • Assume that sensitivity to Air-Sea Temperature Difference (ASTD) increases with decreasing transmittance • Derive bias = offset + gradientASTD for different 11 • Post-corrected σ is estimated as a function of transmittance only • Different for sensor/day/night
