Abstract:
Recently, a new aerosol assimilation model (NAVDAS-AOD) was developed to improve the Navy Aerosol Analysis and Prediction System (NAAPS)'s electro-optical propagation forecast capability. In this project, we developed Quality Control and Quality Assurance strategies for the over-ocean Collection 5 Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) aerosol product that will be applied to the operational data assimilation scheme. An observational based Cloud-Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observation (CALIPSO) climatology was also developed and implemented to NAVDAS-AOD for improving vertical representations of aerosol distributions. We also tested the feasibility of aerosol data fusion with the combined use of the MODIS, MODIS DeepBlue, and the Multiangle Imaging SpectroRadiometer (MISR) aerosol products. Using the NAAPS analysis with data assimilation, we also examined the clear sky and contextual biases for satellite aerosol products.
