CET01: Remote Hydrologic Sensing Theme report: Advanced Modeling and Observing Systems GOALS: Develop microwave remote sensing capabilities to facilitate NOAA measurements of key hydrological variables. MILESTONE CET01.1: Develop a new microwave sensing capability to enable NOAA measurements of soil moisture and/or snow water equivalent. 24
Theme report: Advanced Modeling and Observing Systems ACCOMPLISHMENTS FOR CET01.1: During FY2007, the CET operated the PSR/CXI soil moisture (SM) imaging radiometer as part of the DoE Cloud and LAnd Surface Interaction Campaign (CLASIC). The mission took place during June in Oklahoma, and resulted in eight successful mapping sorties during which the PSR mapped SM within the topmost 5 cm over a region of size ~255 x 190 km with ~1.5 km resolution. Mapping occurred during the wettest month of June in Oklahoma history, thus providing unique conditions under which to test C-band SM mapping capabilities under near-saturation. For the first time a self-contained algorithm was demonstrated for retrieval of SM with geo-registered overlap product delivered consistently within 24 hours of imaging and estimated accuracy of ~5-10%, depending on vegetation overburden. The mission included the first-ever use of airborne SM mapping technology to assist in real-time flood risk assessment over deluged areas of central Texas. MILESTONE CET01.2: Develop an improved version of the DOTLRT radiative transfer model with radiance assimilation capabilities. ACCOMPLISHMENTS FOR CET01.2: The DOTLRT radiative transfer model was improved in two major capacities during FY2007: 1) a fast Henyey-Greenstein Mie lookup library was created to improve execution speed, and 2) a fully-polarimetric surface emission model based on WindSat satellite data and the OSU two-scale radiative transfer model was developed. These models have been delivered to the NOAA-NASA-DoD Joint Center for Satellite Data Assimilation, and are expected to be used with the JCSDA Community Radiative Transfer Model (CRTM). In addition, the DOTLRT Jacobian capabilities were incorporated within a precipitation-locking all-weather radiance assimilation algorithm to demonstrate for the first time all-weather microwave-radiance assimilation over precipitation. Results of running the locking algorithm over first frames of data indicate reasonable convergence of the radiance innovation field. The locking algorithm is being applied to the simulation of the short-term QPF performance of a geostationary microwave sounder. MILESTONE CET01.3: Demonstrate the potential for geostationary microwave imaging of precipitation using simulation experiments. ACCOMPLISHMENTS FOR CET01.3: Precise system simulations of the GEostationary Microwave (GEM) imager/sounder and the GeoSTAR synthetic thinned-aperture imaging radiometer have been studied within the context of the NOAA Geostationary Microwave Pathway study. The simulations use extensive 6-km MM5 simulations of Hurricane Bonnie at landfall, and include five-phase precipitation microphysics and full scattering-based Jacobian calculations. The data illustrate – more accurately than any other simulation to date – what will be observed from the future GEM and GeoSTAR sensors. The results of the study have been presented at the World Meteorological Organization‘s IGeoLab series of workshops. 25
