Due to deficiencies in the operational spike detection, many moderate and strong impulse spike interferences constantly remain nondetected in the cross-track infrared sounder (CrIS) sensor data record (SDR) data at the short-wave infrared (SWIR) band over the South Atlantic Anomaly (SAA) region. This study characterizes imaginary radiance spectrum features in the presence of four intensities of spikes at three different hitting locations through radiative transfer model simulations. It is found that periodic ringing patterns appear in the imaginary spectral radiance. Following it, we establish a novel spike detection algorithm based on the spiky feature of power spectral density (PSD) in detrended and normalized imaginary SWIR CrIS spectral radiances. The performance of the algorithm is assessed by applying it to the multiple years of the SNPP and NOAA-20 CrIS full spectral resolution (FSR) radiance data. Approximate 300 and 500 spike events per day are detected for SNPP and NOAA-20 CrIS individually. The spikes can obviously increase the uncertainty in brightness temperature measurements at SWIR window channels that is determined by hitting location of the interferogram arms and the impulse intensities. Strong impulse spikes can trigger spectral radiance uncertainty by several times in SWIR window channels. Even the weakest impulse event can increase spectral radiance uncertainty by 4&#x0025; in SWIR window channels. In addition, our simulations and one case study of CrIS data show that the spikes can degrade the quality of the CrIS data at the SWIR band with the largest impact at absorbing channels and the smallest at the window channels. The resultant brightness temperature change are 3 K for absorbing channels and up to 1 K for window channels in the SWIR band, demonstrating the significance flagging the CrIS data that are contaminated by the moderate and strong spikes that are missed in the operational data processing.
