| dc.description.abstract | Interim results of a current study on upgrading the geosynchronous operational environmental Satellite (GOES) infrared (IR)
sounder are presented. Considered are a 15 cm diameter telescope to reduce instrument size and weight, use of a Fourier Transform
Infrared (FTIR) interferometer for high spectral wavelength resolution, a small detector focal plane array (FPA) operating at 65K, and
combining the instrument with a microwave sounder. Retrieval performance improvement from the FTIR sounder is estimated. | en_US |

concept, D. L. Mooney for helpful technical discussions and critique, and D.E. Weidler for consultation on mechanical and thermal
