Lucey Workshop on Hyperspectal Meteorological Science of UW-MURI and Beyond 14–15 May 2002, Madison, Wisconsin

  6. Science Use of GIFTS Data:“End-to-End” UW-MURI Data Assimilation Studies 6.2 6.4 Simulating GIFTS data “GVision”/ IHOP_2002 Cloud Properties Fast Model development New Science Applications 0 50 95 Dust & Aerosol Retrievals First Retrievals (T, q, wind) Information Content Estimating Visibility Estimating Turbulence Workshop on Hyperspectal Meteorological Science of UW-MURI and Beyond 14–15 May 2002, Madison, Wisconsin

  7. NWP in Support of Simulating GIFTS data Recent NWP Work: • Work to produce a total of 6 unique GIFTS data “cube” sets in • support of GIFTS simulation studies and RTE development. • Daily IHOP_2002 single “cube” MM5 simulations. • Implementation of PSU/NCAR MM5 as a second “cloud • resolving” model for GIFTS “cube” creation. • Gained knowledge on how to effectively utilize distributed • memory computer facilities for maximizing NWP support • of UW-MURI. Workshop on Hyperspectal Meteorological Science of UW-MURI and Beyond 14–15 May 2002, Madison, Wisconsin

  8. IOMI/GIFTS Retrievals Recent Retrieval Work: • The Physical retrieval model has been developed • Two fast ways for Jacobian calculation are developed • Contrast between surface skin temperature and surface air • temperature on boundary layer moisture • Simulation studies using cube data from MM5 Workshop on Hyperspectal Meteorological Science of UW-MURI and Beyond 14–15 May 2002, Madison, Wisconsin

  9. “Clear Sky” RTE Development Recent Clear Sky RTE Work: • Line-by-Line Improvements: • 8-12μm H2O line parameters • 8-12μm H2O self-broadened continuum • 15μm and 4.3μm CO2 lineshape • Fast Model Parameterization: • Laser design change 852nm => 1064nm • HITRAN ‘96/JPL extended => updated HITRAN 2000 • Generalized interferograms deapodization fix • Extend SZA range to 70° • Re-making GIFTS fast model with new software, greater • flexibility. End-to-end testing. • Characterization of existing fast model’s statistical accuracy. Workshop on Hyperspectal Meteorological Science of UW-MURI and Beyond 14–15 May 2002, Madison, Wisconsin

  10. Aerosols & Dust Recent Aerosol & Dust Work: • Performing trade studies to determine the accuracy of the • existing fast models. • Determine ways to improve the existing models. • Initiated new subcontract of UW-MURI with I. Sokolik at • the University of Colorado-Boulder. Workshop on Hyperspectal Meteorological Science of UW-MURI and Beyond 14–15 May 2002, Madison, Wisconsin

  11. Atmospheric Parameters Recent Atmospheric Parameter Work: • Implementation of stability procedures used with AERI • data on simulated GIFTS retrievals of temperature and • moisture. • New research on quantifying atmospheric turbulence as • measured with hyperspectral data (e.g., AERI). • Development of initial software infrastructure (VisAD) • for “Gvision” as a tool for analyzing many data sets • toward the evaluation of : • Aerosol and dust profiles • Slantwise visibility Workshop on Hyperspectal Meteorological Science of UW-MURI and Beyond 14–15 May 2002, Madison, Wisconsin

  12. Status • The UW & UH MURI is a healthy research • collaboration, especially when considering • the new subcontracts. • We are well underway on our proposed Year 1 • and Year 2 tasks, and with respect to Product • Research we are progressing well. • We are progressing on many fronts, from RTE • development to atmospheric/surface parameter retrievals. • Year 2 will see more time spent using the • simulated GIFTS data than generating it.
