  1. CrIMSS Level 3 @ Sounder PEATEPreliminary Evaluation Sung-Yung Lee Irina Tkatcheva October 2013

  2. Introduction to Level 3 at Sounder PEATE • Preliminary evaluation of Level 3 at Sounder PEATE • Gridded EDR data at one degree by one degree resolution • MW only level 3 includes FORs with High, LowIR and LowMW quality (excludes only PoorQual) • IR+MW level 3 includes FORs with HighlR and LowIR quality (excludes LowMW and Poor Qual) • Daily for July 21 – 28 and 8 day level 3 (Mx7.1) • Parameters in CrIMSS Level 3 • Temperature and water vapor at 101 levels • Skin temperature • Total Precipitable Water Vapor and Total Ozone Burden • Ascending/Descending separately • Mean, St Dev, Counts, total weights • In general CrIMSS level 3 is consistent with AIRS level 3 • AIRS has height dependent quality control, while CrIMSS reject/accepts the entire profile • MW Only level 3 are similar • AIRS has best retrievals while CrIMSSIR+MW has no MW only retrievals • AIRS uses HDF-EOS grid format, while CrIMSS uses NetCDF4 (HDF5 based)

  3. Summary • CrIMSS has gaps in IR+MW retrievals over Sahara, especially ascending • Zonal mean TPWV, TotO3, T, Tsurf compared • Temperature has large zonal biases at some levels • CrIMSS Total Ozone Burden may not be ready • CrIMSS Temperature shows striping at certain levels, due to ATMS • In general, CrIMSS temperature map seems to be noisier than that of AIRS (V6) • CrIMSS has skin temperature < 220. while AIRS does not • AIRS QC on surface skin temperature is tighter • Other issues (mostly minor) at the end of this presentation

  29. Other Issues with IDPS EDR Software • FOV biases in CrIS SDR • Some channels have biases on the order of .2K between detectors • Sweep direction biases in CrIS SDR • Even FORs have biases wrtodd FORs • Local angle correction • Based on calculated radiances before launch • Need to validate with real data

  30. Day/Night Boundary (1) • Map of Brightness Temperature difference ( Tb_sarta – Tb_obs) of 2335 cm-1 channel near Antarctica • Non-LTE correction in SARTA works pretty well during day. • Non-LTE effects starts before sunrise (at the surface) and ends after sunset. • CrIMSS EDR uses non-LTE channels when sun is below horizon at the surface

  31. Day/Night Boundary (2) • 1.3 mb temperature for a granule on July 21, 2013 (Mx7.1) • The white diamonds represent the terminator when solar zenith angle changes from <90 degree to >90 degree • While the surface is dark, the upper atmosphere is still in the sun and hence there is a residual effect of non-LTE • While the IDPS software does not use CrIS shortwave channels during day time, it uses when the surface is dark.
