GODDARD SPACE FLIGHT CENTER EARTH SCIENCES DIVISION The Evolution of GEOS-FP This system is GMAO’s forefront operational system, supporting NASA Field Missions, using data from NASA’s Space Missions This week C360L72 3D-EnVar This week C360L72 3D-EnVar This Aug. C360L72 4D-EnVar This Aug. C360L72 4D-EnVar Last week C360L72 3DVar Last week C360L72 3DVar Next Year C720L137 4D-EnVar Next Year C720L137 4D-EnVar Changes to assimilation methodology Changes to GEOS-5 GCM New filespec Changes to GEOS-5 GCM New filespec Changes to assimilation methodology ISS-Rapidscat Ocean skin T GPM All-Sky Radiances

GODDARD SPACE FLIGHT CENTER EARTH SCIENCES DIVISION Chemical components in GEOS-5 Forward processing and reanalyses now include aerosols – will bring them into seasonal forecasts as we re-vamp that system Interactive ozone can also be important on weeks-seasonal forecasts Ozone at 400hPa in a test simulation of GEOS-5, with GMAI Chemistry, run at C720L72 resolution (near 12.5 km). Note the rich spectrum of the distribution! By Eric Nielsen Also working on GEOS-Chem
