Quick Update on Aeolus Preparations Will McCarty Global Modeling and Assimilation Office, NASA GSFC
Since Last Update… • Efforts have been stopped since last update • New LIPAS simulator has been obtained from KNMI • Support for Continuous Mode operations • R. Errico OSSE “control” has been expanded • two seasons • Improved AMVs • Still lacking: N19, MetOp-A, & GPSRO • Joint OSSE NR Cloud Verification paper in press
Upcoming Studies • LIPAS upgrade will allow comparison of continuous and burst-mode operations in OSSE environment • Two seasons will allow a more concrete period of study • Errico control shows different behavior between DJF (previous) and JJA (new) seasons, with JJA season better matching reality • Observation impact studies (i.e. Zhu and Gelaro 2008) in addition to OSE/data denial • L2Bp processing, necessary for NRT assimilation, still under consideration -> package had to be reworked for CM
