HRD Seminar – Dr. Sean PF Casey, CIMAS and AOML/HRD – 15 February 2018
Dr. Casey presented a seminar titled "Geostationary Hyper-Spectral Sounder (Geo-HSS) Constellation: A Global Observing System Simulation Experiment (OSSE) Assessment". Abstract Observing System Simulation Experiments (OSSEs) can provide quantitative assessments of potential impacts of new observation sources, without the instrument actually being built in some cases. This presentation describes the set-up of global-scale OSSEs, from the …

Paper on the likely impact of the new COSMIC satellites on weather forecasts published in Monthly Weather Review
The Constellation Observing System for Meteorology, Ionosphere, and Climate COSMIC) is a set of satellites launched in 2006 that orbit the earth about 500 miles above ground. They use radio signals from Global Positioning System (GPS) satellites in a process called “radio occultation” to accurately measure temperature and moisture at a large number of points in …
HRD Seminar – Dr. Javier Delgado and Lisa Bucci, UM/CIMAS & HRD – 18 August 2017
Dr. Delgado and Ms. Bucci presented a seminar on "A 2 km Basin Scale Nature Run for a Hurricane Regional OSSE System". Abstract: A realistic Nature Run is the foundation to a useful Observing System Simulation Experiment (OSSE) framework. A high-resolution, Basin Scale Nature Run (BSNR) using the Non-hydrostatic Multiscale Model on the B grid …

Paper on a preliminary test of the impact of data from a new satellite published in the Marine Technology Society Journal
Summary: The new National Aeronautics and Space Administration CYclone Global Navigation Satellite System (CYGNSS) measures wind speed on the ocean surface. Because hurricanes happen over oceans where other wind data are usually not available, these new observations may be useful in pinpointing their positions and intensities. This study examines whether CYGNSS wind information will improve …
HRD Seminar – Kelly Ryan, CIMAS and AOML/HRD – 27 April 2017
Kelly Ryan presented a seminar titled “Using OSSEs to Improve NOAA G-IV Synoptic Surveillance Targeting for Tropical Cyclones". Abstract: Aircraft reconnaissance missions remain the only means of collecting direct measurements of marine atmospheric conditions affecting tropical cyclone formation and evolution. The National Hurricane Center tasks the NOAA G-IV aircraft to sample environmental conditions that may impact …
