  2. Current Research Plan Initial Impact Study: Geostationary Interferometer Simulated Products from “Nature” Atmosphere: Soundings (T, Td) Winds (Cloud drift / Water Vapor) Soundings plus Winds Soundings, Winds, Conventional Data Radiances Derived Products from Simulated Radiances Retrievals (T, Td, derived products) Winds (automated wind algorithm) Direct radiance assimilation

  17. Plans for the Future * Simulate winds from radiances * Assimilate retrievals from radiances * Assimilate radiances with 3DVar * 14 day test periods (winter and spring) * Resolve boundary condition issues * Low Earth Orbit (LEO) OSSE * Test other observing systems

  18. Wind Experiment Using Simulated Radiances 1) Simulate radiances from GOES and from a geostationary interferometer using forward radiative transfer. 2) Put simulated radiances into the automated wind algorithm and generate cloud drift and water vapor winds
