Abstract
The observations from satellite microwave-sounding instruments have been widely used in weather and climate studies. Since the data resolution varies with frequency and satellite viewing angle, it is normally required that the measurements at each frequency be resampled to obtain a uniform resolution prior to various applications. In this study, the ATOVS and AVHRR pre-processing package (AAPP) Fourier transform algorithm is modified for ATMS data and the results are compared with those derived from Backus–Gilbert inversion (BGI) and the original AAPP. From the simulated and observed ATMS data, we demonstrated the new algorithm has better results in terms of imaging quality and noise suppression, compared with BGI and AAPP. In general, our modified AAPP algorithm reduces the error by at least about 0.5 K in ATMS channels 2 and 6 and at all the viewing angles.
