The GOES-13 Sounder demonstrates a more pronounced striping effect than its predecessor, GOES-12, especially evident in band 7 (12 µm). This striping phenomenon is observable in both GVAR count and radiance space, which may influence product outputs. The analysis by Jim Nelson, Don Hillger, and Tim Schmit provides a comparison of images in their native projections, highlighting the differences in radiance averages between the two satellites and its implications for meteorological data interpretation.

GOES-13 Striping The GOES-13 Sounder now shows much more striping than GOES-12 in some bands, for example band 7 (12 um). The striping is seen in both GVAR count and radiance space (and brightness temperature). This level of striping can affect products. Jim Nelson Don Hillger Tim Schmit
