Note for OSSE Capability
Michiko Masutani 2/11/2008
(This is an informal
note based on my personal impression.)
NCEP
Coordinate Joint OSSE effort. Contact point for ECMWF
Coordinating calibration experiments
Process and distribute NR
Processing Nature run into 91 level profiles (OBS91L)
This requires processing NR in 3D
Simulate conventional observation
Simulate uniform data and other idealized data
Michiko Masutani Jim Purser
Conduct global data assimilation with GSI and GFS
Include codes to process new
All radiance which has been implemented to GSI
DWL with LOS (It require more test for GSI. Operational code will not work.)
Quick Scat
ASCAT: under development
Assist GSI and GFS code and scripts: Yucheng Song and Michiko Masutani
With help from Daryl Kleist and other GSI member H Liu, X Su.
Assist usage of CRTM: David Groff is acting as contact person
Provide utility code: Wesley Ebisuzaki, George Gyno
Theoretical support for data assimilation: Jim Purser and other member of GSI developers
NESDIS
Simulate radiance from OBS91L using CRTM and other existing RTMs
(Tong Zhu, Haibing Sun)
Development CRTM (Many)
Support for CTRM usage (Tong Zhu)
Evaluate radiance data and produce plot
Conduct data assimilation (Jim Jung)
NASA/GSFC
Simulation of Radiance: Ron Errico and Runhua Yang with help of Emily Liu
Currently they use OBS91L produced by NCEP. Code is provided by J. Woollen(NCEP) In future they will produce them selves.
CRTM is provided by Tong Zhu (NESDIS) and SARTA by Haibing (NESDIS)
Simulation of conventional data
Ron Errico will repeat Jack's work. Need coordination
Theoretical support for data assimilation: Ron Errico and other GMAO staff
Simulation of DWL GWOS concept: Alindo DaSilva Math McGill
Maintenance of portal system and NASA OSSE web site: Harper Pryor
Conduct data assimilation using GSI and GEOS-5 model
In order to simulate DWL, GMAO need to upgrade from NCEP.
Diagnostics of hurricane, mid latitude cyclone statistics: Oreste Reale and his hires
Write up papers on diagnostics - Oreste Reale
Visualization of NR- Summer time internship program
Sensor web project at SIVO will have various relevant work
NOAA/ESRL
Help coordinating Joint OSSE -- Tom Schlatter
Simulate Unmanned Air Craft System (UAS) -- (Niki Prive and Yuanfu Xie)
Conduct data assimilation using NCEP GFS and GSI -- (Niki Prive and Yuanfu Xie)
Assist on GSI: Steve (Weigandt and M. Hu)
Capable to conduct regional OSSE : Steve Weygandt
Theoretical support for data assimilation: Dezso Devenyi, Tom Schletter, Steve Weygandt
Possibly simulate radiance data (Daniel L Birkenheuer )
SWA
SWA will receive better PCs from NASA for sensor web project
SWA investigating cloud
effect in simulating DWL
SWA has long time
experience in simulating DWL data and simulate DWL for T213 NR.
SWA has received a fund
to simulate GWOS and NWOS as well as other and follow-on mission concepts.
Participating sensor
web project at NASA/SIVO
KNMI
KNMI has access to ECMWF computing system
Simulate DWL for ADM mission with a non scan lidar and for follow-on concept (multiple non-scan lidar)
Simulate scattermeter data
Conduct data assimilation using ECMWF system
SOSSE (Other type of simulation experiments)
EMCWF
Produce NR
Conduct data assimilation using ECMWF system
Identical twin OSSE and fraternal twin OSSE to study model error
Data impact test using ensemble spread
GRI/MSS
Valentine Anantharaj, Pat Fitzpatrick, Chris Hill,
All three can work on coding and experimenting
Val is most senior. Pat may be professor Chris is finishing up PhD
Familiar with RAM, MM5, and WRF
They may be able to produce meso-regional NR and willing to share within Joint OSSE
Computer with 100 CPU
Committed to conduct meso/regional OSSE
Agreed to start from regional OSSE with T799 NR
Wisconsin
Familier with RAM and other meso scale model
Simulation of radiance-Alan Huang
Help SWA to simulate Cloud motion vectors - Chris Velden
They may be able to produce meso-regional NR
JMA, JAMSTEC and NICAM project at Univ. Tokyo
Access to Earth Simulator (ES). Requires to write a proposal to use ES
Takeshi Enomoto of JAMSTEC may be interested in running NICAM to produce global mesoscale model
JMA has 4D-var, LETKF and 3D-var. Comparison between 4D-var and LETKF can be done at JMA computer. - Takemasa Miyowhi
NCAR
Help distribution of verification data.
University of Utah
Conduct regional OSSE using GSI to evaluate DWL: Zhaoxia Pu
NRL
OSSE to test regional data assimilation (Craig Bishop)
