  1. MOPITT and MOZART for Flight Planning and Analysis of INTEX-B Louisa Emmons Peter Hess, Avelino Arellano, Gabriele Pfister, Jean-François Lamarque, David Edwards ACD, ESSL, NCAR

  2. MOPITT CO Apr 20-22, 2006 MOPITT-MOZART Forecasting The ACD satellite and modeling groups developed a unique tool for predicting pollution plumes: The assimilation of near-real-time MOPITT carbon monoxide data into the MOZART chemical transport model along with near-real-time biomass burning emissions MOZART Forecast MODIS fire counts Apr 11-20, 2006

  3. Near-Real-Time MOPITT CO Retrievals • Received expedited data within a few hours of overpass for region of interest • Full globe processed within 1 day in ‘Rapid Response’ mode (Debbie Mao) • Plots automatically posted on MOPITT website: http://mop1.eos.ucar.edu/mopitt/ • Operational retrievals are archived at NASA LaRC DAAC

  4. Fire Emissions During campaign: • Christine Wiedinmyer’s fire emissions model • NRT MODIS fire counts (Terra) Post-campaign • GFED-v2 [van der Werf, Randerson et al.] emissions scaled by MODIS CMG 8-day fire counts Significant differences between Terra andAqua and NRT and Final fire counts

  5. MOPITT assimilation and MOZART forecasts For each day of MIRAGE and INTEX-B: MOZART with assimilation of MOPITT CO and full chemistry (2.8x2.8) run for past 3 days CO forecasts initialized from assimilation Forecast CO and tags run at 0.7x0.7 for 3 days

  6. Forecast Evaluation - May 4 - DC8 MOZART Forecast CO along flight track (Fx initialized 0502 12UTC) MOZART Forecast CO interpolated to flight track compared to preliminary data from DACOM* * Data from Glen Sachse, NASA Langley

  7. Assimilation - May 1 Timing and location of plume sampled by C-130 near Seattle missed without assimilation MOPITT CO Column CO With Assimilation CO Without Assimilation

Arellano C-130 Flights 4/17 - 5/1 CO [ppbv] Obs from Teresa Campos DC-8 Flights 4/17 - 5/1 CO [ppbv] OBS WITH MOPITT ASSIM (R=0.69) W/O MOPITT ASSIM (R=0.62) 1-Minute Flight Points Obs from Glen Sachse Assimilation in CAM-Chem Ensemble-based assimilation of U,V, T and MOPITT CO in the Community Atmosphere Model with Chemistry Assimilation clearly improves CO structure OBS WITH MOPITT ASSIM (R=0.72) W/O MOPITT ASSIM (R=0.63) Extended Kalman Filter Assimilation in MOZART:

  9. MOPITT Validation Very few spirals were performed coincident with Terra overpasses, but many along-track profiles were roughly coincident Within 200 km and 13 hours: DC-8: 11 C-130: 16 As seen previously, MOPITT shows a positive bias compared to in situ observations The MOPITT team continues to investigate the cause of the bias (instrument, a priori, retrievals, etc.) and hopes to reduce it in the next retrieval version Colored points: NOAA/GCD network profiles (P. Novelli) C130: Teresa Campos, NCAR DC8: Glen Sachse, NASA Langley
