  1. MOPITT and MOZART for Flight Planning and Analysis of INTEX-B Louisa Emmons Peter Hess, Avelino Arellano, Gabriele Pfister, Jean-François Lamarque, David Edwards ACD, ESSL, NCAR

  2. MOPITT CO Apr 20-22, 2006 MOPITT-MOZART Forecasting The ACD satellite and modeling groups developed a unique tool for predicting pollution plumes: The assimilation of near-real-time MOPITT carbon monoxide data into the MOZART chemical transport model along with near-real-time biomass burning emissions MOZART Forecast MODIS fire counts Apr 11-20, 2006

  3. Near-Real-Time MOPITT CO Retrievals • Received expedited data within a few hours of overpass for region of interest • Full globe processed within 1 day in ‘Rapid Response’ mode (Debbie Mao) • Plots automatically posted on MOPITT website: http://mop1.eos.ucar.edu/mopitt/ • Operational retrievals are archived at NASA LaRC DAAC

  4. Fire Emissions During campaign: • Christine Wiedinmyer’s fire emissions model • NRT MODIS fire counts (Terra) Post-campaign • GFED-v2 [van der Werf, Randerson et al.] emissions scaled by MODIS CMG 8-day fire counts Significant differences between Terra andAqua and NRT and Final fire counts

  5. MOPITT assimilation and MOZART forecasts For each day of MIRAGE and INTEX-B: MOZART with assimilation of MOPITT CO and full chemistry (2.8x2.8) run for past 3 days CO forecasts initialized from assimilation Forecast CO and tags run at 0.7x0.7 for 3 days

  6. Forecast Evaluation - May 4 - DC8 MOZART Forecast CO along flight track (Fx initialized 0502 12UTC) MOZART Forecast CO interpolated to flight track compared to preliminary data from DACOM* * Data from Glen Sachse, NASA Langley

  7. Assimilation - May 1 Timing and location of plume sampled by C-130 near Seattle missed without assimilation MOPITT CO Column CO With Assimilation CO Without Assimilation

Arellano C-130 Flights 4/17 - 5/1 CO [ppbv] Obs from Teresa Campos DC-8 Flights 4/17 - 5/1 CO [ppbv] OBS WITH MOPITT ASSIM (R=0.69) W/O MOPITT ASSIM (R=0.62) 1-Minute Flight Points Obs from Glen Sachse Assimilation in CAM-Chem Ensemble-based assimilation of U,V, T and MOPITT CO in the Community Atmosphere Model with Chemistry Assimilation clearly improves CO structure OBS WITH MOPITT ASSIM (R=0.72) W/O MOPITT ASSIM (R=0.63) Extended Kalman Filter Assimilation in MOZART:

  9. MOPITT Validation Very few spirals were performed coincident with Terra overpasses, but many along-track profiles were roughly coincident Within 200 km and 13 hours: DC-8: 11 C-130: 16 As seen previously, MOPITT shows a positive bias compared to in situ observations The MOPITT team continues to investigate the cause of the bias (instrument, a priori, retrievals, etc.) and hopes to reduce it in the next retrieval version Colored points: NOAA/GCD network profiles (P. Novelli) C130: Teresa Campos, NCAR DC8: Glen Sachse, NASA Langley

  11. MOZART CO and Ozone Tags CO emissions from different regions and sources have been tagged to identify different source contributions to the observations Asian NO emissions have been tagged to give the contribution to the ozone distribution from Asia Poster: G. Pfister

  12. MOPITT CO Interannual variability 2006 appears to have an average amount of CO over the Pacific during April-May Poster: G. Pfister
