ARM CART Matchup Procedure

  • Match Dave Tobin’s ARM CART best estimate to

AIRS simulated retrievals.

  • Explain the synoptic picture

ARM CART Conclusions

  • Hope for clear, calm, conditions during ARM CART
  • verpasses.
  • Supplemental information about the synoptic state

(e. g, satellite imagery, model analyses) is needed to identify these desirable conditions.

ARM CART Future Needs

  • Stability of Dave Tobin’s best estimate algorithm

– Handles 12 data streams (!)

  • A regular subscription of twice daily data from

Wisconsin to JPL.

  • The associated synoptic information (GOES, model

analyses, etc.).

Preliminary AVN Matchups

  • Match AIRS retrievals to all AVN grid points within a

~25 km / 1 hr window.

  • Look at global and regional temperature statistics

Conclusions from Matchups with AVN

  • Statistics are similar to Granule 401 results
  • This matchup procedure can be applied to ANY

gridded synoptic field.

  • Supplemental to other Golden Day analyses.

Further work on AVN Matchups

  • Generate statistics by retrieval type, cloud flags, day/night,
  • cean/land, etc.
  • Look in more detail at the other four model time steps on

December 15.

  • Prepare for other gridded fields
