  1. Use of ATOVS at DAO Joanna Joiner, Donald Frank, Arlindo da Silva, Emily Liu, Clark Weaver Data Assimilation Office, NASA/GSFC ITSC-12

  2. Outline • Introduction: DAOTOVS 1DVAR assimilation • Assessment of cloud- and land-affected data in DAS • Use of OPTRAN • OSSE simulations • Use of TOVS for land-surface analysis/assimilation • Off-line skin temperature analysis (including bias correction) • Off-line skin temperature assimilation • AIRS dynamic channel selection based on cloud height • Incorporate effects of aerosol • Summary and Future Plans Joanna Joiner, DAO ITSC-12

  3. DAOTOVS attributes • DAOTOVS 1D-Var Assimilation of Radiances: • Uses Level 1b data • HIRS, MSU, SSU and AMSU-A radiances • Variational cloud-clearing (Joiner and Rokke, 2000) • Eigenvector FOV determination (AIRS ATBD) • Physically-based systematic error correction • GLATOVS, MIT -> OPTRAN (JCSDA) • Running in operational GEOS-DAS and next-generation Finite-volume DAS (fvDAS) currently running in parallel Joanna Joiner, DAO ITSC-12

  4. fvDAS Data Flow (PED coeff) Joanna Joiner, DAO ITSC-12

  5. DAOTOVS: What makes it different? • Uses cloud- and land-affected data (CERES land-emissivity data set based on satellite/laboratory measurements). • Uses all channels except HIRS 16, 17 AMSU 1,2 (IR bi-directional reflectance, mw emissivity in 1DVAR state vector) • Variational cloud-clearing (done simultaneously with retrieval); allows for internal quality control, consistency • Tuning using collocated radiosondes (not background). Updated daily via Kalman filter. • Errors in assimilation system include separate components with and without vertical/horizontal correlations Joanna Joiner, DAO ITSC-12

  6. How many cloud formations are seen in NOAA-K data? Answer: ~2 Look at eigenvectors of 3x3 array of HIRS pixels R1-Rn ~95% of cases explained by two modes (cloud-formations) Joanna Joiner, DAO ITSC-12

  7. O-F Statistics • Fit to Rawinsondes • Obs – 6h Forecast • Bias (spatial RMS, time mean) • Standard Deviations NW NE Tropics SW SE Joanna Joiner, DAO ITSC-12

  8. Cloud clearing has positive impact on 6 hour forecast, verified with radiosondes in finite-volume DAS green: NESDIS TOVS, red: DAOTOVS w/cloud-cleared, blue: DAOTOVS, no cloudy Joanna Joiner, DAO ITSC-12

  9. Forecast experiments, RMS error 500 hPa heightred: cloud-cleared,blue: no cloudy Joanna Joiner, DAO ITSC-12

  10. Impact of land-affected data (red-includes land,blue-no land) Joanna Joiner, DAO ITSC-12

  11. OPTRAN significantly reduces ATOVS radiance biases note: a) scale b) large reduction in channel 1 and 12 biases OPTRAN GLATOVS Joanna Joiner, DAO ITSC-12

  12. Observing System Simulation Experiments (OSSE) • Use fvCCM/Optran to simulate cloudy radiance • Use GEOSDAS/ GLATOVS for assimilation • Model has reasonable simulation of cloud/upper tropospheric humidity (use maximum overlap assumption) Joanna Joiner, DAO ITSC-12

  13. *The problem: Skin temperature biases over land (especially desert) causing clear-sky Outgoing Longwave Radiation (OLR) biases as compare with CERES; *Problem caused by emissivity used in land-surface model (LSM) and inconsistent definition of ground temperature

  19. More TOVS marked “clear” by internal 1DVAR QC Red in bottom panel means more TOVS 1DVAR passes internal cloud checks And determined to be “clear” Joanna Joiner, DAO ITSC-12

  20. AIRS initial channel selection Joanna Joiner, DAO ITSC-12

  21. Channel selection based on retrieved cloud height Cloud: 50% at 200 hPa Yellow: Clear-Cloudy Green: Add noise, background errors 17 channels unaffected by cloud Joanna Joiner, DAO ITSC-12

  22. Channel selection based on retrieved cloud height Cloud: 10% at 700 hPa Yellow: Clear-Cloudy Green: Add noise, background errors 77 channels unaffected by cloud (If retrieve pressure of 525, get 58 channels) Joanna Joiner, DAO ITSC-12

  23. Using model-simulated aerosol in DAOTOVS (Weaver poster) Top: O-F HIRS 8 no dust in calculations Bottom: O-F HIRS 8 dust from transport model included in radiative transfer Joanna Joiner, DAO ITSC-12

  24. Summary and Future Work • Cloud- and land-affected data has positive impact on forecasts (6hrs-5 days) • OPTRAN reduces biases, but little overall impact due to tuning • OSSE simulations show reasonable model cloud • TOVS Ts analysis (including bias correction) improves OLR, clear-scene identification over land • AIRS channel selection good for cloudy situations (sharp weighting functions); Dynamic channel selection in cloudy scenes, cloud slicing-like approaches worthwhile • Aerosol effects are significant (see Weaver poster) Joanna Joiner, DAO ITSC-12

  25. In the future… • GOES sounder (JCSDA) • AMSU-B • Analyze pseudo-relative humidity instead of ln(q) in 1DVAR • Partial eigen-value decomposition/radiance assimilation • AIRS – more from Don Frank Joanna Joiner, DAO ITSC-12
