Initial study endorsed by WGNE, which helped embark a few more NWP centres

2 IASI Cloud products Intercomparison Teams: MF/CMS MF/CNRM EUMETSAT ECMWF (low opaque. 255 sits) NOAA CMC METO METO oper (cloud amount) JMA NRL (clear sit.) LMD NCEP UNIBAS (cloud flag) Rationale: The first step is to detect and characterize the clouds in the footprint of the sounder. One way of investigating the limitations of a particular methodology is to perform a careful intercomparison of the results of different processing schemes for the same observations. Experimental settings: All methods are applied to a 12-h global acquisition on 18 Nov

3 IASI Cloud products Intercomparison Various methods of detection and characterization: Mainly CO2-slicing methods (CNRM/GMAP, CMC, EUMETSAT, JMA, MF/CMS) Cloud-clearing method using the 2x2 IASI spots in conjunction with AMSU and MHS (NOAA) 1D-Var (MetOffice) minimum residual method (NCEP) Weighted χ2 method (LMD) Use of AVHRR information (MF/CMS, CMC) Settings differ: from 8 channels to 92 channels. 165 for NCEP 1 reference channel for all channels or couples of channels And many other differences 3 single layer cloud or multiple layer (up to 3) clouds (NOAA, MF/CMS) RT models: RTTOV (from 7 to 9.3), RTIASI, SARTA, 4A, CRTM FOV to which the method is applied A priori: NWP forecast or climatology (NOAA, LMD)

4 Examples of cloud top pressure over the globe MetOffice NCEP MF/CMS CMC The main meteorological structures have been retrieved by all the schemes but the cloud heights can be very different 4

5 Examples of Cloud pressure scatterplots CNRM 5 Large discrepancies can be observed for small cloud effective amount situations Effective amount

12 Conclusions The main meteorological structures have been retrieved by all the schemes Cloud heights: In spite of different retrieval methods, MetO, NCEP, ECMWF, CMC, MF/CNRM and MF/CMS outputs are close Similar methods lead to similar results (CMC and MF/CNRM); reversely, larger differences come from different methods (CO 2 -slicing and Cloud-clearing). Larger differences near the surface: accuracy on Ts and T profile in low levels required Single overcast and thick cloud layers: occurrence of these situations is about 50% in this study Correlations between schemes larger than.95 for these situations ECMWF overcast/opaque situations often determined with effective emissivity<1 by the other teams. But good coherence in cloud height. Publication: In special issue of Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society 12
