CIMSS NWP Modeling Capability to Support GOES-R Measurement SimulationsJason Otkin, Erik Olson, Hung-Lung Huang, Steve Wanzong, Chian-Yi Lui, Robert Knuteson, and Leslie Moy Sophisticated NWP models are used to generate physically realistic datasets employed for GOES-R measurement simulations Range of capabilities from medium-sized domains with fine spatial resolution (<2 km) to full disk sized domains with lower resolution (8-km) TOA radiances are calculated using a forward radiative transfer model containing a detailed treatment of cloud and surface emissivity properties Simulated TOA radiances are being used to create synthetic observations for the HES and ABI sensors
