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 SOUP may undergo further development to be used for other projects, replacing outdated workflows and streamlining processes.

NOAA Soil Moisture Operational Product System (SMOPS): New Products & Applications

In the last year, CISESS Scientist Jifu Yin has continued making significant improvements to the NOAA Soil Moisture Operational Product System (SMOPS). A new version of near-real-time soil moistures products is about to be released and progress has been made toward a new high-resolution (1 km) product. New satellites are being added to SMOPS: GOSAT-GW, WSF-M and NISAR. SMOPS also has been integrated with the Land Data Assimilation System for the Unified Forecast System.
