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
