  1. Simulating GWOS, ADM and NWOS: Coverage and accuracy trades G. D. Emmitt and S. A. Wood Simpson Weather Associates WG on Space-Based Lidar Winds Monterey, CA 5 – 8 February 2008

  2. Overview • Simulations for OSSEs and instrument design trades (e.g. IDL) • DLSM • OSSEs • GWOS • NWOS • ADM • Summary

  3. DLSM and OSSEs • The DLSM has been fully upgraded to perform global simulations of the hybrid DWL • OSSEs for the hybrid are planned at NCEP using the new ECMWF T513 and T799 nature runs • Hybrid DWL OSSEs are in progress using the T213 nature run at SIVO

  22. Summary • Ready for “realistic DWL” OSSEs • Need consensus on NWOS instrument parameters • SIVO OSSEs are moving forward • NCEP OSSEs are in preparation • NASA ROSES07 funding likely for ADM follow-on OSSEs
