| Provided by the 20-channel GOES-8 and -10 sounders. Channels 10 through 12 are sensitive to lower to mid and upper tropospheric moisture. Channels 6 and 7 are slightly sensitive to atmospheric moisture and used to infer lower tropospheric moisture). The horizontal resolution is 10 km (at nadir), and the vertical resolution is about 3 km. |
| Provided by the 20-channel GOES-8 and -10 sounders. Channels 1 through 5 and 13 through 16 are sensitive to atmospheric temperature. Channels 7, 8, 17, and 18 are atmospheric window channels and used to infer surface temperature. The horizontal resolution is 10 km (at nadir), and the vertical resolution is about 3 km. |
