Real-time Transmission of NOAA Tail Doppler Radar Data J Carswell 1 , P. Chang 2 , M. Mainelli 3 and J. Hill 4 (carswell@remotesensingsolutions.com) 1 Remote Sensing Solutions, 2 NOAA/NESDIS/STAR, 3 NOAA NCEP, 4 NOAA AOC The NOAA WP-3D aircraft provide X-band Doppler/reflectivity measurements of tropical storms and cyclones. Doppler measurements from volume backscatter precipitation profiles can provide critical observations of the horizontal winds as the precipitation advects with these winds. In 2010, NOAA NESDIS, NOAA AOC and Remote Sensing Solutions teamed to capture these profiles and send the radial Doppler profile observations to National Weather Service in near real-time over satellite communication data link. The design of this transmission system included features to enhance the reliability and robustness of the data flow from the P-3 aircraft to the end user. The end objective is to provide these Doppler profiles in a routine fashion to NWS and others in the forecasting community for operational utilization in support of hurricane forecasting and warning. In this paper we present an overview of this work, accomplishments that were achieved in 2010 and discuss plans for 2011 hurricane season. Poster Session – Page 2
Improved Hurricane-force Surface Winds and Rain Rate Retrievals with the Step Frequency Microwave Radiometer J Carswell 1 , P. Chang 2 , Z. Jelenak 2 and S. Frasier 3 (carswell@remotesensingsolutions.com) 1 Remote Sensing Solutions, 2 NOAA/NESDIS/STAR, 3 University of Massachusetts With the operational deployment of the Stepped Frequency Microwave Radiometer (SFMR), hurricane reconnaissance and research aircraft provide near real-time observations of the 10-m ocean surface wind speed both within and around tropical storms and cyclones. These data are used by hurricane specialists to assist in determining wind radii and maximum sustained winds - critical parameters for determining and issuing watches and warnings. These observations are also used for post storm analysis, model validation, and even ground truth for future satellitebased wind sensors. It is therefore imperative that any errors in these observations be understood and reduced as much as possible. In previous studies, SFMR rain retrievals have been shown to exhibit a bias of 5 mm/hr and to under report the rain rate, suggesting that the SFMR rain absorption model requires improvement. To address this, we present further studies documenting the problem, as well as a new rain absorption model. Using this new model in the SFMR retrieval process, significant improvements in both the wind speed and rain rate retrievals are achieved. Poster Session – Page 3
