Subject
The workshop on Assimilation of high spectral resolution sounders in
NWP was held from June 28 to 1 July.
The NASA AQUA satellite was successfully launched in May 2002 and sampled
radiance data from the AIRS (and the accompanying AMSU-A) instruments
are now available in near-real-time (NRT) to the NWP community. Most NWP
centres have undertaken major research and development efforts for the
validation and assimilation of this new advanced infrared sounder.
The aim of the workshop was to review the critical issues related to
the assimilation of high spectral resolution sounders in operational NWP
centres, in particular monitoring, cloud detection, channel selection,
data compression and radiative transfer modelling.
The workshop attendance was by invitation only.
