Fourth GOES-R Users’ Conference: Geostationary Passive Microwave Observation System Simulation ExperimentsAlbin J. Gasiewski, Bob L. Weber, Alex G. Voronovich, and Jian-Wen Bao • Goals: Determine cost/ performance tradeoffs between candidate geostationary microwave sensors concepts for NWS forecasting requirements • Main contexts: Regional-scale precipitation measurement and forecasting and all-weather T&Q sounding at high temporal resolution (15 km, 15 min) • Demonstrate potential for hydrometric locking of regional NWP forecast models to geostationary microwave data • Related application to all-weather AMSU-A/B radiance assimilation in support of NASA-NOAA-DoD JCSDA GEM GOMAS GeoSTAR
