Outline: ▼ Global Analyses
▼ Trends ▶ Time-to-Detection vs. grid size
▶ Example trends, instrument artifacts
▶ ENSO Correlations ▶ Some Lessons-Learned
Platnick, Paris Wkshop, 12 Sept 2011
Motivation ! Trends
– For observed MODIS temporal variability on regional scales, what is the expected “time to detection” for a given trend?
– Consistency between Terra and Aqua MODIS? Lack of consistency traced to instrument differences? Statistically significant regional trends found?
! Sensitivity of retrievals to interannual (low frequency) climate variability, e.g., ENSO – Correlation of atmosphere properties to ENSO useful for climate model
evaluation (e.g., GFDL AM3 cloud fields) – To what extent can ENSO responses alias into trend observations?
! Datasets and Analysis – Monthly mean anomalies derived from archived MODIS Atmosphere
Team Terra and Aqua monthly Level-3 aggregations – Analyses for various equal-angle grids, from 1° (native Level-3 resolution)
to regional and zonal – All analysis includes effects of data set temporal correlations (“order 1”
autocorrelation for trend calculations)
