Flexile Radiance data Simulation strategies at NCEP Jack Woollen of NCEP developed more flexible strategies for data bases, nicknamed DBL91.This system consists of two data files per synoptic time. DBL91(binary): These files contain all the relevant background and satellite location and geometry information needed for the radiance simulation. This includes NR surface, upper air, climatology interpolated to the thinned satellite observation locations reported in the operational GDAS “radstat” diagnostic files. OBS-Template(BUFR): The program read the data base which contains information about observation including location. The radiance data records include a mask indicating which channel was assimilated in the operational GDAS. Simulation of radiance requires only DBL 91. After radiance is simulated, OBS-Template supplies addition observation specific information to recreate the satellite BUFR files correctly with the simulated values installed, and, if desired, to mask out channels not used in the GDAS. The first set ofDBL91was generated for existing satellite data used in 2005. Data are processed at foot print used by NCEP operational data assimilation. The mask for used and unused channel is included. AIRS, HIRS2, HIRS3, AMSUA, AMSUB, MSU, GOES are processed. OBS-template was generated in bufr format. This may be good enough for calibration and testing additional future observation. When GMAO produces a set of data locations, that can also be used as a template to generate DBL91 based on the GMAO sampling. DBL91 can be generated for future observation as well, maintaining a consistent interface for the simulation programs being developed at NCEP. It is option whether DBL91 to be saved and exchange among various project, or DBL91 to be treated as temporary file produced in simulation process, depending on size of DBL91 compare to the Nature Run.

DBL91 Experts for data handling and experts of RTM are different people. • Content of DBL91 • Nature Run data at foot print • 91 level 3-D data (12 Variables) • 2-D data (71 Variables) • Climatological data • All information to simulate Radiances DBL91 The DBL91 also used for development of RTM. DBL91 can be processed for other sampling such as GMAO sampling DBL91 can be processed for new observation It is an option whether DBL91 to be saved and exchange among various project, or DBL91 to be treated as temporary file produced in simulation process. This depends on size of DBL91 compare to the Nature Run. 8

Sampling based on nature run cloud GMAO can provide template file. save undef or 0 for unused channel does not have to run CRTM • Template for OSSE experiment • A. Instrument designer have to simulate foot print location using orbit generators • Sampling based on Nature Run has to be designed • This is major work to be performed by instrument designers 9
Application for DBL91 The DBL91 also used for development of RTM. DBL91 can be processed for other sampling such as GMAO sampling DBL91 can be processed for new observation DWL91 with sampling based on GDAS usage will be posted from NASA portal. In actual simulation, it is optional whether DBL91 to be saved and exchange among various project, or DBL91 to be treated as temporary file produced in simulation process. This depends on size of DBL91 compare to the Nature Run.

Simulation of HIRS3 radiance from NOAA16 from DBL91 Simulation of HIRS3 radiance from NOAA16 from DBL91 CRTM 1.2.2 posted from JCSDA web site was used for simulation DBL 91 was generated at foot print used by NCEP GDAS All information in GDAS bufr files are copied to simulated radiance file. Channel which are not used by GDAS was marked in diag file. Masked out to generate masked radiance data.
Simulated where Channel 4 is used Observed radiance where any channel is used Long wave Simulated where any channel is used
Radiance Data Simulation strategies at NCEP Step 1. Thinning of radiance data based on real use ► GOES and SBUV are simulated as they are missing from GMAO dataset. ► Prepbufr is simulated based on CDAS prepqc distribution. ► AMSUA, AMSUB, GOES data have been simulated for entire T511 NR period. ► DBL91 for AMSUA, AMSUB, GOES, HIRS2, HIRS3, AIRS,MSU are generated at foot print used by NCEP operational analysis and will be posted from NASA portal. ► Some limited calibration and validation will be conducted by NCEP and NESDIS for their own use. However, users are expected to perform their own calibrations and validation. Step 2. Simulation of radiance data using cloudy radiance Cloudy radiance is still under development. Accuracy of GMAO data sampling will be between Step1 and Step2.
