Plans for the Future * Simulate winds from radiances * Assimilate retrievals from radiances * Assimilate radiances with 3DVar * 14 day test periods (winter and spring) * Resolve boundary condition issues * Low Earth Orbit (LEO) OSSE * Test other observing systems
Wind Experiment Using Simulated Radiances 1) Simulate radiances from GOES and from a geostationary interferometer using forward radiative transfer. 2) Put simulated radiances into the automated wind algorithm and generate cloud drift and water vapor winds
