ABSTRACT

A satellite-model coupled procedure for assimilating geostationary satellite sounder data was adapted to a mesoscale analysis and forecast system jointly developed by the Naval Research Laboratory and the Air Force Research Laboratory. The coupled procedure involves the use of the model output fields as the first guess for the thermodynamic retrievals. Atmospheric thermodynamic profiles and ground temperatures were retrieved from observed radiances of the VISSR Atmospheric Sounder (VAS) on board the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite. The successive corrections ...
