Ocean Surface Roughness Measurement from CALIPSO and its Application in Wind and Air-Sea Gas Exchange

Uncertainty associated with vertical gas exchange at ocean surface is a major contributor of uncertainty in global carbon budget assessment. The estimate of ocean carbon uptake varies from 1.1 PgC/yr (Liss and Merlivat (1986) to 3.3 PgC/yr (Wanninkhof and McGillis, 1999) as a result of difference in air-sea gas exchange estimates. High resolution lidar measurements of ocean surface roughness may lead to significant reduction in global air-sea gas exchange uncertainty. Air-sea exchange is linearly proportional to wave slopes at all wave scales (wave number ranging from 50 to 800 rad/m), especially the smaller scale waves such as capillary waves (Frew et al., 2003). The air-sea gas exchange is currently parameterized to wind information associated with microwave measurements (such as QuikScat and AMSR-E). Microwave measurement of ocean surface roughness is directly related to lower frequency surface waves (<50 rad/m). The link between microwave measurement and higher frequency waves is nonlinear. At shorter wavelengths (1 micron), lidar measures wave slope variance of all waves more directly. Thus it provides direct and accurate gas exchange information. High resolution near surface wind speed can also be derived from the lidar ocean surface roughness measurements (Hu et al. 2008). One of the shortcomings of satellite based lidar measurement (such as CALIPSO) is its limited spatial coverage (nadir or near nadir only). It is thus highly desirable to study global gas exchange and near surface wind with combine lidar/SAR measurements since SAR provides high spatial ocean surface backscatter at a wider swath. This talk intends to introduce the lidar ocean surface roughness measurements from CALIPSO, and to initiate discussions on potential collaborations between NOAA and NASA in the field of high resolution near surface wind and gas exchange studies with combined lidar/SAR measurements.

The Yukon River Basin Water Quality Monitoring Program: Partnership between Government and Grassroots at the National and International Levels

In 2004, YRITWC and USGS began partnering to continue and extend water quality monitoring into a long-term database. YRITWC worked with USGS to develop sampling methods, protocols and a training structure modeled after USGS methods (USGS, TWRI, Book 9). In March 2006, YRITWC began monitoring the Yukon River Basin, funded by an Administration for Native Americans (ANA) grant for regulatory enhancement. Sample sites were established between Dawson City, Yukon Territory, and Pilot Station, Alaska. Discretionary funds were used to establish the Dawson City site. The scope of the Yukon Territory monitoring effort is determined, to a large degree, by available funding. In early 2007, YRITWC received a grant from EC to conduct a workshop with EC, USGS, Yukon Territory Government, and Water Survey of Canada. At the workshop, interested native tribes joined the YRITWC to assist in ongoing water quality monitoring efforts. In early 2008, YRITWC secured a grant through the Northern Strategies Trust of Canada and began a partnership with the Yukon Territory Government (YTG). This partnership extended the monitoring project to cover the Yukon Territory. The expansion of the project has lead to the first time in history that water quality will be seen in a single ‘snapshot’ at the large basin scale.

The Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) Mission and Falling Snow Algorithm Development

High spatial and temporal resolution global precipitation estimates are important for understanding the Earth’s energy and water cycles. Thus, the upcoming NASA/JAXA Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) mission seeks to estimate precipitation (falling snow as well as liquid rain) globally using physically-based retrieval approaches. The GPM concept centers on deploying a Core spacecraft carrying a dual-frequency precipitation radar and a microwave radiometric imager with channels from 10 to 183 GHz to serve as a precipitation physics observatory and a calibration reference to unify a constellation of dedicated and operational passive microwave sensors. A summary of the GPM mission, scientific objectives, and sensors will be provided. Next, progress and challenges associated with early development work for GPM snowfall detection and estimation will be presented. The focus is on NOAA’s AMSU-B (MHS) radiometer data and field campaign data collected during the Canadian CloudSat/CALIPSO Validation Project (C3VP) from Oct 2006 to March 2007. Approaches for detecting falling snow and obtaining surface emissivity will be reviewed. This seminar will show that surface emission contributions to the satellite observed brightness temperatures over land can add uncertainty in detecting and estimating falling snow. It will also discuss mitigation approaches for reducing these uncertainties. The above work and future work to incorporate knowledge about falling snow retrievals into the framework of the expected GPM Bayesian retrievals will be described during this presentation.

The Antarctic Integrated System Science on the Antarctic Peninsula

The discoveries of disciplinary science increasingly highlight the need for integrative approaches to forge new understanding of the complex interactions that govern Antarctica and its past, present and future roles in the earth system. To respond to this need and foster progress on some of societies’ most pressing issues on a planet subject to potentially accelerated change, the Antarctic Integrated System Science (AISS) program was established in 2007. An initial vision for the AISS program is outlined in the executive committee synthesis of a June 2007 community-based workshop that is available at: http://cresp.tamu.edu/AISSWorkshop. The synthesis includes examples of cross-cutting integrated system science questions that are not meant to be exhaustive. Initial activities funded under the IPY call can be found on the IPY award list (http://www.nsf.gov/od/opp/ipy/ipy_awards_list.jsp). In general terms, the AISS program administers projects that transcend disciplinary boundaries, are highly integrated and address questions broader in scope than those typically supported by the disciplinary programs described above. AISS projects must have compelling intellectual merit, broad impact and expand the frontiers of our knowledge. AISS does not fund programs that recast disciplinary questions into a form requiring minimal expertise from other disciplines when progress is possible within a discipline. Projects must not be so broad in scope that tractable research strategies are not practical. It is recognized that integrated system proposals can be challenging to review. At this juncture in accordance with existing NSF guidelines, proposers may choose to submit single collaborative proposals or multiple related proposals that share some common text. Proposals will be reviewed by both ad-hoc mail reviews and a combination of panelists from the disciplinary panels as appropriate. Those considering submission to AISS are encouraged to contact the program director in advance. See http://www.nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.jsp?pims_id=503240&org=NSF&from_org=NSF

International Arctic Systems for Observing the Atmosphere: Challenges for a NOAA Climate Service

The International Polar Year was a designated period of world wide collaboration on polar research that started in March 2007 and just ended in March 2009. A number of legacy projects have resulted from the IPY that are expected to continue into the foreseeable future. One of these projects originated within NOAA; the International Arctic Systems for Observing the Atmosphere (IASOA). The main mission of IASOA is coordination of atmospheric data collection at existing and newly established intensive Arctic atmospheric Observatories in the 7 Arctic countries with participation and support from additional non-Arctic countries. Data of interest to the IASOA consortium include measurements of standard meteorology, greenhouse gases, atmospheric radiation, clouds, pollutants, chemistry, aerosols, and surface energy balances that are collected continuously with instruments on the ground. These measurements support studies of Arctic climate change attribution (why things are changing), not just trends (how things are changing). IASOA is responsive to growing evidence that the earth system may be approaching environmentally critical thresholds within decadal time scales. The information from IASOA will not only enhance scientific understanding but will also support decisions by the global community regarding climate change mitigation and adaptation strategies.

IASOA is a potential building block for the atmospheric, Arctic component of a NOAA Climate Service and could potentially contribute significantly to the operations of all NOAA line offices and mission goals. However, there are significant challenges which can only be solved by NOAA acquiring the authorities and support protocols for operating with international partners in a timely manner. This talk will be specifically addressed to the NOAA staff offices including International Affairs, Acquisition and Grants, General Consul, Finance, Travel, Communications and Education and will address a shopping list of current “show stoppers and dampers” that hinder NOAA support of IASOA. Specific examples will be used for on-going activities in Canada, Russia and Finland.

Towards a Global Climatology of Planetary Boundary Layer Height: Preliminary Results from Radiosonde Observations

Several options exist for developing a climatology of the global PBL. Traditional methods for determining the height of the PBL are based on in situ meteorological (e.g., radiosonde temperature and moisture) soundings, but new methods, based on GPS/RO (Global Positioning System/Radio Occultation) refractivity data and on remotely-sensed aerosol concentrations, are emerging. Comprehensive comparisons of these methods have not yet been performed.

This seminar will present preliminary findings of PBL height climatologies from a global network of radiosonde stations. We will compare results based on temperature, humidity, stability and refractivity profiles. Seasonal and (to the extent possible) diurnal structures will be elucidated, and the implications of these findings for use of GPS/RO data for determining PBL height will be presented. Feedback on the relevance of this work for model evaluation and development is welcome.
