WP 3200: Description of work

LWP algorithm for AMSU LWP retrieval over sea from AMSU data LWP retrieval over sea and land from AVHRR data Synergetic algorithm for AVHRR and ground based

  • bservations over land

Synergetic algorithm for AVHRR and AMSU over sea areas Combining results over sea and land to get LWP fields for the Baltic modelling area and the Netherlands Retrieval of an optimized algorithm from combined ground based and satellite measurements during BBC and reprocessing EOP1+2.

Conclusion

Cloud fields can be reproduced by NN- retrieval

Overestimation for high LWP (> 300 g/m2) Underestimation for low LWP (< 200 g/m2)

Sub-FOV variability complicates the LWP retrieval Validation of LWP derived from AVHRR by the use of AMSU retrievals does not work
