  14. High Spatial Resolution Water Vaporwill improve Models Predictions for Climate AIRS Water Vapor Animation: 2002-2005 Climate Models have large errors in water vapor amount* *"Three-dimensional tropospheric water vapor in coupled climate models compared with observations from the AIRS satellite system“, D. Pierce, T. Barnett (Scripps) Accepted GRL, 2006 Models show >50% bias errors in H2O vapor. Models worst at mid altitude and mid latitude. “Analysis of the accuracy and sampling biases of the AIRS measurements suggests that these differences are due to systematic model errors, which might affect the model-estimated range of climate warming anticipated over the next century.”

ARIES Fills Gaps Left by NPOESS • CrIS • Insufficient spatial resolution for future GCMs • ARIES will have 3 km products, CrIS has 45 km products • Insufficient near surface sensitivity • Low spatial resolution limits accuracy due to emissivity variability • No shortwave channels (Poor boundary layer sensitivity) • Missing Composition Products • Carbon Monoxide, Carbon Dioxide • Not Climate Quality • No requirements to support climate in current CrIS program • No thermal control, fragile and complex calibration • VIIRS • Atmospheres: No water vapor channels (no polar water winds) • Oceans: Incorrect channel frequencies. Inadequate Calibration • Land: Inadequate calibration
