Assessing Design and Deployment Strategies for Future Microwave-Sounding Missions

CISESS Scientist Dr. Zaizhong Ma and co-authors, including CISESS Deputy Director Dr. Hugo Berbery, recently published a study on the expected forecast impact of future microwave sounding instruments planned under NOAA’s Near Earth Orbit Network (NEON) program. This work was done using the Ensemble of Data Assimilations (EDA) for the Integrated Forecasting System in collaboration with the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF).

TROPICS CubeSat Radiances Improve Tropical Storm Forecasts

CISESS Scientist Isaac Moradi has tested GSI 4DEnsVar data assimilaton of TROPICS CubeSat radiances into the NOAA operational Hurricane Analysis and Forecast System (HAFS). He found forecast improvements tropical cyclone track and maximum sustained wind speed predictions, particularly at longer forecast lead times or in complex scenarios where traditional forecasts diverge from best-track estimates.

SOUP: A Recipe for Managing Ocean Data from the Abyss to Archive

CISESS Scientist Anna Lienesch has recently implemented a new NOAA ocean exploration data user portal called SOUP. As a Sample Data Manager on the NOAA Ship Okeanos Explorer, she is a primary user of this tool, which she helped design, enhance, and test. SOUP may undergo further development to be used for other projects, replacing outdated workflows and streamlining processes.
