DOY 351

GOES
Note: The GOES-12 Sounder noise has not gotten worse since last reported in November, however, it remains an issue which users should be aware of. Most significantly in the shortwave (3 – 5 um) bands 13-18. Detector 2 data on the GOES-12 Sounder has exhibited the most noise.

Starting JDay 350 at 2000z, GOES-12 Sounder periodically started to see pixel drop outs in data. This is due to problems with the filter wheel.
