【 摘 要 】

Radiative transfer (RT) models play a very critical role in assimilating satellite radiances into NWP models. Community Radiative Transfer Model (CRTM) developed by Joint Center for Satellite Data Assimilation is widely used in the U.S. as the forward operator for the assimilation of microwave and infrared satellite radiances. This work shows an snapshot of the GMAO radiative transfer modeling activities to advance the assimilation of satellite radiances as well as to facilitate the GMAO activities on Observing System Simulation Experiments (OSSE).
