Abstract: nclusion of moist physics in the linearized version of a weather forecast model is beneficial in terms of variational data assimilation. Further, it improves the capability of important tools, such as adjoint-based observation ...

Abstract: linearized prognostic cloud scheme has been developed to accompany the linearized convection scheme recently implemented in NASA?s Goddard Earth Observing System data assimilation tools. The linearization, developed from ...

Abstract: AbstractA simple adaptive thinning methodology for Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) radiances is evaluated through a combination of observing system experiments (OSEs) and adjoint methodologies. The OSEs are performed ...
