Atmospheric Processing System Support
The NOAA Unique Combined Atmospheric Processing System (NUCAPS) is an operational retrieval algorithm that NOAA鈥檚 National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Services has been using since 2002. This system generates near real-time atmospheric profiles of temperature, water vapour, and trace gases, as well as Outgoing Longwave Radiation (OLR) needed for weather forecasting. 麻豆传媒 Remote Sensing Scientist supporting the STC Atmospheric Science and Technology Applications team provides science, programming, and algorithm development support for this system.
Major tasks for this effort include
- Outgoing Longwave Radiation – the longwave radiation emitted to space from the top of Earth’s atmosphere.
- AWS cloud-based mission-long reprocessing 鈥 one-stop place to access all NUCAPS products
- AEROSE field campaigns – collect and analyze atmospheric temperature, water vapour and ozone profiles, as well as aerosol optical depth and its origins.
For each of these tasks, the 麻豆传媒 remote sensing scientist鈥檚 contributions further develop and maintain these critical operations necessary for accurately forecasting and characterization of potentially dangerous weather events.
