1 Hyperspectral Infrared Water Vapor Radiance Assimilation James Jung Cooperative Institute for Meteorological Satellite Studies Lars Peter Riishojgaard National Aeronautics and Space Administration John Le Marshall Centre for Australian Weather and Climate Research, Australia

2 Outline Tropospheric Water Vapor Assimilation  Problems  New approach  Results Stratospheric Water Vapor Assimilation  Channel selection  Results Items yet to be resolved

3 Tropospheric Water Vapor Assimilation

4 Assimilating water vapor channels Increase penalty Decrease convergence Unstable moisture field  Supersaturation  Negative moisture  Precipitation spin down Down-weight obs Tighter cloud checks/QC Increased number of inner and/or outer loops Black list specific channels ProblemsAttempts to fix them

5 Background NCEP Global Spectral Model T382L64 Gridpoint Statistical Interpolation (GSI)  Pseudo RH used for moisture assimilation February 2009 update All Operational conventional and Satellite data IR data thinned to 180 Km 165 longwave IASI  35 water vapor 121 total AIRS  27 water vapor 1– 31 January 2008

6 Operational AIRS Bias wv channels * Not all AIRS channels are used

7 New Approach Use the gross error check to limit the response  Adjusted gross error check 4.5 -> 0.9 [K]  Adjusted assimilation weights closer to the noise equivalent delta temperature (nedt). Used for both AIRS and IASI

8 Effects Less observations per channel used wrt using 4.5K  ~70% reduction initially  ~20% reduction in final analysis Most observations pass QC on second outer loop  Better temperature profile (?) Water vapor channels now have similar characteristics to temperature channels  Convergence improved  Penalty improved Smaller initial changes to the moisture field, greater changes over time  Each assimilation cycle changes are about an order of magnitude less than the model values Most changes occurring in the mid- and upper Troposphere Rainfall spin-down is similar to the Control

9 New AIRS Bias wv channels * Not all AIRS channels are used

10 Precipitable Water Changes Relatively small changes in moisure More moisture in the tropics Dryer at high latitudes Moisture retained in tropics Moisture “returns” at higher latitudes

11 Precipitable water differences are in percent [%] Monthly average changes in precipitable water between the control and experiment. Forecasts in the Polar regions trend toward the control but tropics remain wetter than the control.

12 Forecast Impact (Pseudo RMS) on precipitable water. Units are percent [%] Forecast Impact decays rapidly with time and becomes mostly neutral by 24 hours.

13 Stratosphere Water Vapor Assimilation

14 Experiment Assimilate on-line (absorption) water vapor channels  68 water vapor IASI channels  35 off-line  33 on-line*  38 water vapor AIRS channels  27 off-line  11 on-line * IASI has better spectral bandwidth channels to accomplish this than AIRS

15 From Chris Barnet IASI Jacobian for on-line water vapor channel 3327

16 Items to note: Background Error  Modified to allow small changes per cycle Negative Moisture  -q values set to [Kg/Kg] (Stratosphere) GPS-RO  Develops fields that are similar Verification (?)

18 Problems Cold temperature bias from 100 hPa to the top of the model and increases with forecast time Geopotential height bias above 100 hPa also increases with forecast time Both are enhanced by assimilating Stratospheric Moisture

19 Units of Temperature [K] Bias = monthly average of Forecast minus its own Analysis Forecasts become colder with time.

20 Units of geopotential heights [m] Bias = monthly average of Forecast minus its own Analysis Heights also decrease with forecast time.

21 Work in Progress New background error for moisture (RH)  Stratosphere Height/Temperature bias  Tropopause  Stratosphere Channel selection  Sensitivity to Stratosphere moisture  # required to maintain a stable stratospheric moisture field Greater Impact near the surface  Surface emissivity  Background error

22 Monthly average in Precipitable water [mm] Bias = monthly average of Forecast minus its own Analysis Forecasts become dryer with time.

23 Monthly Average of 6 Hour Precipitation Changes 6 hour changes in total precipitation have large fluctuations Generally more precip. in the ITCZ region, less in “dry season” Rainfall changes do not show a geographic dependence (not shown) Threat scores over US show no significant changes
