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

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

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.

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

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

Items to note:
• Background Error Modified to allow small changes per cycle
• Negative Moisture -q values set to 10-6 [Kg/Kg] (Stratosphere)
• GPS-RO Develops fields that are similar
• Verification (?)

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

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

Units of geopotential heights [m]
Bias = monthly average of Forecast minus its own Analysis

• 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
