In 2003, the novel concept of tracking water vapor features on altitude-resolved moisture surfaces was demonstrated using both simulated GIFTS and airborne NAST-I retrieved fields. Winds derived from retrieved moisture fields were compared to model winds (simulation cases) and co-located Doppler LIDAR winds (NAST-I field experiment).

Range bins (%) of MODIS pixels within AIRS FOVsfor each MODIS cloud mask class
E.g. when the AIRS cloud mask said it was clear, ~72 percent of the time 90-100 percent of the MODIS pixels within those AIRS FOVs were determined to be confident clear (green) by the MODIS cloud mask, ~12 percent of the time 90-100 percent of the MODIS pixels within those AIRS FOVs were determined to be probably clear (cyan) by the MODIS cloud mask, ~0 percent of the time 90-100 percent of the MODIS pixels within those AIRS FOVs were determined to be uncertain (red) by the MODIS cloud mask, and ~3 percent of the time 90-100 percent of the MODIS pixels within those AIRS FOVs were determined to be cloudy (white) by the MODIS cloud mask.

Composition
• Ozone and other trace gases• GIFTS/HES provide high spatial and temporal
resolution vertical ozone profiles 24 hours a day, with percent RMS errors less than 15% in the upper troposphere and stratosphere (errors in the lower atmosphere are large yet are offset by the low ozone concentrations at those levels).
• Continue development and testing• Draft V.0 ATBD
While not a major effort in 2003, trace gases composition retrieval work was very fruitful. High spectral resolution
infrared measurements are expected to provide increased capabilities for distinguishing atmospheric constituents

Data Access and Visualization
• A “reference” application that can be used with any multi- or hyperspectral data – AIRS, MODIS, S-HIS, MSG – was created.
• Started work on defining the structure for storing and making easily accessible large volumes of data.
• extends the capabilities of the reference application to include non-hyperspectral data (numerical model fields, atmospheric soundings, etc) for validation.
• Evolve the reference application as more scientists start to work with it and suggest extensions.

Preparing for Data Assimilation
• During 2003 GIFTS forward model operators, such as tangent linear, adjoint and Jacobian were developed in high-level language MATLAB. These operators are essential for the future data assimilation and 1-D VAR physical retrieval.
• Continue to maintain fast forward model development in support of data assimilation.
• Continue to implement and test GIFTS adjoint and linear tangent code
• Provide GIFTS forward model operators to Prof. X. Zou

SummaryThe main research areas CIMSS proposes to focus on during 2004 are:
Writing of ATBDs that will describe and justify baseline algorithms, identify potential algorithm risks, and propose solutions to reduce the risks. Emphasis in 2004 is on writing the atmospheric sounding and wind ATBDs and preliminary drafts of other ATBDs.
Continue with the demonstration of the new approach to derive clear-sky winds from retrieved moisture sounding fields.
Baseline algorithms will be extensively tested by applying them to appropriate observations (e.g. AIRS and S-HIS) and model simulations.
Continued development of data access and visualization tools,
Continued development on algorithms for the retrieval of cloud, aerosol and surface properties and trace gas amounts
The data access and visualization activities will continue to make substantial contributions to both the science and education of hyperspectral data.
