MWTS-3 has 17 detection channels, which can detect temperature profiles from near the ground to approximately 2 hPa. However, similar to the newest-generation microwave temperature instruments in other countries, MWTS-3 may also suffer from striping noise. In this paper, a principal component analysis (PCA) is combined with ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD) to extract the striping noise from the brightness temperatures observed by MWTS-3, and a comparative analysis is performed with its predecessor (MWTS-2). This paper analyzes the characteristics of the striping noise of both instruments and its possible impact on their observations. The results show that the striping noise of MWTS-3 has been significantly reduced in most of the 17 channels. In particular, the striping noise of MWTS-3\u2019s channel 3 is reduced by nearly half compared to the channel of MWTS-2 with the same frequency. Furthermore, the interchannel correlations for MWTS-3 are significantly lower than those for MWTS-2. After noise mitigation, the interchannel correlations of both MWTS-2 and MWTS-3 are obviously reduced. In addition, striping noise mitigation can reduce observation errors to some extent, especially for channels above the middle troposphere.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs15051421","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,3]],"date-time":"2023-03-03T01:43:00Z","timestamp":1677807780000},"page":"1421","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Comparative Analysis of Striping Noise between FY-3E MWTS-3 and FY-3D MWTS-2"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3608-5603","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jiali","family":"Mao","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Collaborative Innovation Center on Forecast and Evaluation of Meteorological Disasters, Nanjing University of Information Science and Technology, Nanjing 210044, China"},{"name":"Joint Center for Data Assimilation for Research and Application, Nanjing University of Information Science and Technology, Nanjing 210044, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1172-8040","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zhengkun","family":"Qin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Collaborative Innovation Center on Forecast and Evaluation of Meteorological Disasters, Nanjing University of Information Science and Technology, Nanjing 210044, China"},{"name":"Joint Center for Data Assimilation for Research and Application, Nanjing University of Information Science and Technology, Nanjing 210044, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Juan","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"CMA Earth System Modeling and Prediction Centre, Beijing 100081, China"},{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Severe Weather, Beijing 100081, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Guiqing","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"CMA Earth System Modeling and Prediction Centre, Beijing 100081, China"},{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Severe Weather, Beijing 100081, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jing","family":"Huang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"CMA Earth System Modeling and Prediction Centre, Beijing 100081, China"},{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Severe Weather, Beijing 100081, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1","DOI":"10.1007\/s00376-021-1304-7","article-title":"FY-3E: The first operational meteorological satellite mission in an early morning orbit","volume":"39","author":"Zhang","year":"2021","journal-title":"Adv.
