Aerosols in GEOS-5 Arlindo da Silva(1) Arlindo.daSilva@nasa.gov Peter Colarco(2), Anton Darmenov(1,5), Virginie Buchard-Marchant(1,3), Cynthia Randles(2,3), Ravi Govindaradju(1,4) and the GOCART and GEOS-5 Development Teams Global Modeling and Assimilation Office, NASA/GSFC Atmospheric Chemistry and Dynamics Branch, NASA/GSFC UMBC/GEST Science Applications International Corp. Earth Resource Technology GMAO Theme Meeting March 31, 2011
Aerosol activities at GMAO Developing a hierarchy of global models capable of skillfully representing the global aerosol distribution as depicted by available in-situ and remotely-sensed measurements the microphysical processes needed for parameterizing cloud/precipitation-aerosol feedbacks Aerosol interaction with earth-system components GOCART component has been ported to GFS at NCEP Developing an aerosol simulation capabilityfor aiding planning of future NASA observing missions Developing a comprehensive aerosol data assimilation capabilityfor constraining and calibrating aerosol transport models, including the estimation of emissions needed for driving such models
GEOS-5 AtmosphericData Assimilation System Near Real-time System
Integrated Earth System Analysis Preliminary IESA (PIESA): MERRA driven component reanalyses
GEOS-5/GOCART Forecasts • Global 5-day chemical forecasts customized for each campaign • O3, aerosols, CO, CO2, SO2 • Resolution: Nomally 25 km • Driven by real-time biomass emissions from MODIS • MODIS aerosol assimilation to become operational by Summer 2011.
