  3. GPROF 2010 (Ocean) GPROF2010 continues to be a Bayesian algorithm consisting of: P(R|Tb) = P(Tb|R)•P(R)/P(Tb) No more rain screens. All pixels are compared to database. Bayes’ theorem determines rain or no rain. Consequence: almost all pixels have a very small probability of rain. No more convective/stratiform separation. Only necessary because CRM database was skewed to convective pixels. Entire code is now exceedingly simple. Pixels are classified only by background SST and TPW. Database entries within ±1K in SST and ±2 mm in TPW are searched for potential solutions. Error covariances are established from fit between observed and simulated Tb in the a-priori database.

  4. Cloud profile database is partitioned into separate SST and TPW bins

  5. • Databases created based upon PR/TMI. Change from GPROF 2008 to GPROF 2010 is TRMM V7 products. • Delivered TMI V7 to PPS in mid-June • In house version of AMSR-E code tested for 6 mo. Further testing expected in July 2011 • Ready to work with MSFC starting in August to get code into operations • Need team discussion on output parameters. Currently, pixel level output is only Lat/Lon/Sfc rain/Conv. Rain. GPROF 2010 Status
