Coarse dust aerosols absorb terrestrial radiation leading to significant longwave heating/cooling rates. Modules accounting for aerosol impacts on radiation have been implemented into CRTM framework, but operational centers continue to assume aerosol-free conditions when assimilating infrared radiances into NWP models. This assumption can introduce significant biases in analysis fields (temp, moisture, etc.), which can reduce forecast skill.

Goal: Accurate, high-resolution (approx.3 km) soil moisture in near-real time. Situational awareness (drought assessment, flood and fire threat). Local modeling applications (to improve sfc-PBL exchanges) Method: Assimilate satellite soil moisture retrievals into a land surface model. Combines high-resolution geophysical model data with latest satellite observations.
