  2. ICV Coordinated Dedicated RAOB Campaign Update* *As of 3-Dec-12

  3. Rescheduled NOAA AEROSE Intensive Cal/Val Campaign(Jan–Feb 2013) • Jan-Feb 2013 • Charleston, SC to San Juan, PR • “Best Estimate” (2/overpass) soundings are a possibility • ≈120 RS92 sondes available to launch. • 1st launch would have to be terminated prior to balloon burst altitude, as was done for the TWP site during the AIRS Validation (Tobin et al. 2006). • Most likely would not be for all the overpasses, but we could target certain ones. • Is this desired?

  4. RAOB-EDR Granule Matchup Methodology • RAOB data files are being acquired (in diverse native formats) for all the dedicated RAOB sites, in collaboration with partner institutions. • RAOB launch times and satellite overpass times are organized and tabulated (XLS spreadsheet). • RAOBs are “downgraded” to 100 layer and output to common-format ASCII tables. • CrIMSS EDR matchup granules are acquired for these RAOBs. • IDPS OPS-EDRs (42/22 level) ≤ 500 km of RAOB launch • The IDPS-RAOB matchups are Quality Assured via “quick-look” diagnostic plots. • Given QA-ed IDPS granule matchups, CrIMSS offline EDRs (101 level) can then be generated using the corresponding SDR files for any arbitrary IDPS emulation. Thus far we are looking at emulations: • MX5.3 (previous) • MX6.3 (current) • MX7 (future)

  5. CrIMSS-RAOB Matchups: PMRF Site • All planned dedicated RAOBs at the PMRF site have been launched, and all granules ≤ 500 km have been acquired. • Shown in following slides are IDPS-OPS and Offline MX5.3 EDR matchup granules the RAOBs launched from PMRF • MX5.3 emulates the IDPS-OPS • Nearest FOR • n = 36

  6. CrIMSS-RAOB Sample Matchups: PMRF All the EDR matchups were “MW-only”. All but 3 matchups show the expected agreement between the IDPS-OPS and MX5.3 Offline Emulation. A sample of the matchups are included here.

  9. CrIMSS-RAOB Sample Matchups: PMRF Disagreement (found in 3 matchups) was determined to result from IDPS reverting to NWP when the MW-only fails.
