GCOS “Reference” Upper AIR Network (GRUAN) Illustration of the initial set of 15 sites composing the Global Climate Observing System (GCOS) Reference Upper Air Network (GRUAN). Each site provides one or more reference radiosonde observation per week along with specified ancillary ground (lidar, MWR, FTIR …) observations. A reference observation in the context of GRUAN includes adherence to best measurement practices as specified in the GRUAN Manual and Measurement Guidelines including specification of measurement and product uncertainty. Expansion of GRUAN to up to 40 sites within the next five year is planned.

Process 1: • Ref / Ded Collocation Dataset • 7-day delay : • Access GRUAN (Frank ) • Access Dedicated (Frank, Nick, …) • Access COSMIC (Bomin, Bob K … • Unified RAOB Downgrades (also COSMIC ?): • 100 RTA layers • 30 coarse layers • Upwards to top RTA layer • Collocate the Products (Bomin, Changyi … • Consistent with “Stamp”, add 30 mins (RAOBs), closest in time … • Append Stamps (Nick, Antonia … • Append GTS (including for COSMIC) (Bomin) • NETCDF/HDF5
Process 1: • Ref / Ded Collocation Dataset • Back-processing: • Append “tardy” Obs available after 7-days (ie PMRF…) • Append Historical Observations • from May 2012 for S-NPP • from 2010 for IASI (AIRS?) • Append Stamp (all) • Append available NPROVS (subsample with matched GTS) • Append ancillary profiles (SSE, lidar, FTIR, MWR, GPS, …) • Other ? • NETCDF/HDF5
