Explore the effectiveness of OVW from satellites in capturing extreme weather phenomena like tropical cyclones, hurricane-force winds, and surface waves. Assess the impact of assimilating derived products and enhancing wind retrievals. Investigate air-sea coupling, boundary layer physics, and synergy between SAT sources for improved weather analysis.

OVW Meteorology Discussion:Research and Operations • How well can OVW from all satellites capture or analyze extreme weather • TCs, hurricane force winds in some Mid-Lat. storms, Strong Sfc. Waves, … • e.g. NHC loved QuikSCAT, does ASCAT fill the void? • Operational assimilation of derived products such as Sea-level Pressure? • Can this enhance the impact of OVW alone? • Improve wind retrievals (ambiguity selection) • Air-Sea coupling processes • Fluxes, ocean (&coupled) model forcing • Important to resolve the atmospheric boundary layer (and OBL) physics • Synergy between different SAT sources • Water cycle, carbon cycle • Diurnal cycle research requirements for climate record, ocean models forcing
