1 CIMSS SATellite CONsensus (SATCON) Derrick Herndon and Chris Velden University of Wisconsin - Madison Cooperative Institute for Meteorological Satellite Studies Presented at International Workshop on Satellite Analysis of Tropical Cyclones February, 2016 Honolulu, HI Microwave Sounders ADT ARCHER
2 IWSATC-II center No single intensity algorithm can perfectly assess the intensity of all these storms
3 In order to account for storms with different structures an all the above approach is needed. Multiple satellite scanning strategies Multiple channels to measure the various TC features that are related to intensity. Geostationary Intensity Position Structure MW Imager Position Structure MW Sounder Intensity Structure
4 The strengths and weaknesses of each method are assessed based on statistical analysis, and that knowledge is used to assign weights to each method in the consensus algorithm based on situational performance to arrive at a single intensity estimate. SATellite CONsensus (SATCON) AMSU/SSMIS/ATMS ADT ARCHER SATCON
5 Cross-algorithm information sharing ADT Estimate of Eye Size Compare to Sounder FOV resolution Adjust sounder-based pressure if needed Example: ADT provides information to MW Sounder algorithms During eye scenes infrared imagery can be used to estimate eye size Sounder algorithm uses eye size information to correct resolution under-sampling
6 Cross-algorithm information sharing Example: Objective estimates of eye size from CIMSS ARCHER method (using MW imagery) MW imagery (MI) often depicts eyes when IR/ADT cannot ARCHER method (Wimmers and Velden, 2015) uses objective analysis of MI and accounts for eyewall slope ARCHER eye = 33 km Information can be input to AMSU/SSMIS and ATMS algorithms SATCON uses ARCHER intensity score and eye size
7 Weights are based on situational analysis for each member Weights are RMSE for each member in given scenario Example criteria: scene type (ADT) scan geometry/under-sampling bias (AMSU/SSMIS/ ATMS) Example: ADT Scene type vs. performance CDO EYE SHEAR RMSE 14 knots RMSE 12 knots RMSE 18 knots
8 A B C SSMIS RMSE 9.4 knots AMSU RMSE 10 knots AMSU RMSE 12 knots SSMIS RMSE 14.6 knots AMSU RMSE 15 knots AMSU weights are dependent on: TC position relative to AMSU warm core position TC eye size (AMSU resolution is 50 km at nadir) SSMIS weights are dependent on TC eye size
9 Changes since 2011 Interpolate the MW Sounder estimates then weight the interpolated values. - Result is increased number of members available to match to ADT - Smoother changes from one estimate to the next Add 2 Standard Deviation bounds for Vmax Address sounder too strong bias during early stages Apply correction for SATCON too weak bias for storms > 100 kts TIME SSMIS AMSU ADT
10 TCC-2016 Changes since IWSATC 2011 Use SATCON weighted MSLP to get pressure-wind estimate - make adjustments for TC size, latitude and storm motion - correction for TC eyes that are smaller/larger than climo value of 46 km. Objective eye size value comes from ARCHER or ADT Adjust P-W Vmax to account for storm organization using ARCHER intensity scores. Higher score -> stronger Vmax ARCHER score 85 ARCHER score 15 Same MSLP for these 2 storms but different MSW
11 Changes since 2011 Final Vmax estimate is 0.75*Vmax_SATCON * Vmax_PW SATCON estimate are ed to users, sent to ATCF for JTWC and distributed on CIMSS webpage along with a history file. S-NPP ATMS is currently included on SATCON plots but not part of SATCON yet. Plan to add ATMS from CIRA/CIMSS this year. SATCON weighting equation for three member estimate for both MSLP and Vmax
12 Temporal fluctuations as each polar pass is processed
13 Bias correction increases peak intensity ERC not captured in BT Smoother transitions
