  2. Modifications Table • List of Changes • Modifications to fix ccNAF so it is reported properly. ccNAF is 999999 for overcast and 1.0/9 for clear skies. Also removes constraint in calc_cc_rad.f that ccnaf is always >= 1. • Fixes chisq values so that they are reported correctly when the combined-run loop is terminated early. • Changes the sensitivity of a cloud threshold from 4.246 to 4.2426. • Modifies the definitions of clear, cloudy, and partly cloudy. • Scenes with one “cluster” but with high variability are now called partly cloudy instead of cloudy. • Scenes with many clusters (ncldfm>=4) are now called partly cloudy instead of cloudy.

  3. Yield Rates for subset: 9/20 • QC(1) shows whether the infrared chisq test passed for the combined run. • QC(4) shows whether the microwave chisq test passed for the combined run. • QC(5) shows whether the microwave chisq test passed for the microwave-only run. • QC(1&4) shows whether both QC(1) and QC(4) passed. • The percentages on the next screen indicate what percentage of all profiles passed the given QC flag. • Blue is an improvement over the baseline, Black is no change, and Red is a worse result compared to the baseline.

  5. Changes By Level:

  6. B10 to P1: • Differences due to removing the forcing of ccnaf to 1 in cloud clearing algorithm “calc_cc_rad.f” • If (ccnaf<1.0) ccnaf=1.0 • Error covariance matrix is smaller in invrtcc because of this change when ccnaf<1. • After cloud clearing algorithm, another statement is not commented out, which usually sets ccnaf back to 1 and masks this difference: • IF (ccnaf<1.0 .AND. nccl>3) ccnaf = 1. • Keep both in, comment both out, or keep as-presented here, with one in and one out?

  7. P1 to P2 • Previous values of QC were incorrect when the combined-run was terminated early. • Results allowed some infrared runs to sneak through, when they should have been flagged and made mw-only. • New results cause a drop in yields: • QC(1) (chisq for infrared alone) drops by about 3%. • QC(4) (chisq for microwave in combined run) drops by about 0.07%. • Overall impact is a drop of about 0.8%. • Makes results slightly worse, but is a bug that needs to be fixed.

  8. P2 to P3 • Change is very small. • Barely perceptible in either yield or performance. • See just a little bit of a blue line (P2) in some of the graphs, buried under the red line (P3).

  9. P3 to P4: • All changes cosmetic. Only real changes are: • ncldfm=0, nccl>=9, cc true, clrflg false. • Ncldfm>4, cc true, clrflg false.
