Presentation Transcript

  1. CFSR Radiosonde Radiation Bias Correction • Four separate operational tables used • Creates discontinuities in temp analysis • Interact with variational satellite bias corrections • Highlights the need to use a more continuous radiosonde correction in CFSRL, as in R1(pre79), ERA, JRA, MERRA

  2. Plan for CFSRL adaptive RAOB correction • R1 used monthly F-O statistics to update radiosonde bias corrections by WMO block number before 1979 • So, port the R1 algorithm to CFSRL • Constrain the monthly corrections as documented in ERA40 which used a similar adaptive procedure • Also, look at the Haimberger corrections for the pre-satellite era. (83K+ days of corrections for a fixed set of individual stations) MERRA used modified R1 algorithm plus Haimberger corrections

  3. Adaptive procedure devised for CFSRL Each month the composite (F-O) statistics for temperature are computed for each WMO block (01-99) A profile of percentages of the (F-O) stats is defined as follows: pob>=700 tfrac=0pob==500 tfrac=.8*.333pob==400 tfrac=.8*.666pob<  400 tfrac=.8A data density factor is defined: ddf=min(1,cnt/15)A limiting factor is defined: abs(cor)<=tfrac*2.5Next months corrections in each block is defined as: cor=(O-F)*tfrac*ddf. Finally the absolute value of the correction is limited to be <=tfrac*2.5.
