The Sounder is used to detect emitted radiation at 19 different wavelengths, in contrast to the 5 wavelengths sensed by the Imager.  There is better spectral resolution on the Sounder, but spatial resolution at the sub-satellite point is limited to 8-km field-of-view separated by 10 km.  At mid-latitudes, such as over the United States, resolution is about 10 km.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cimss.ssec.wisc.edu\/satellite-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2009\/08\/GOES12_SNDR_20PL.GIF\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cimss.ssec.wisc.edu\/satellite-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2009\/08\/GOES12_SNDR_20PL.GIF\" alt=\"GOES12_SNDR_20PL\" title=\"GOES12_SNDR_20PL\" width=\"500\" height=\"360\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3307\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The GOES-14 spacecraft has a different configuration than the GOES-12 spacecraft, and as a result, the Sounder detectors are colder on GOES-14.
