Meteorological Center (NSMC) of China from August 17-18 and gave a
seminar titled "GOES Sounder - the current status and future
plans". He spoke on how to optimally use the current GOES Sounder
radiances in forecast by accounting for the high temporal resolution
into retrieval. He also discussed with NSMC scientists how to
improve the navigation of the GOES-9 imager. (J. Li, CIMSS,

"Retrieval of cloud properties from MODIS and AIRS observations".
His talk focused on how to synergistically use imager with high spatial
resolution and sounder with high spectrally resolution for retrieving
the cloud properties such as cloud-top pressure, cloud optical
thickness, cloud particle size, etc.
