Session: Assimilation of Aerosol Observations (100th American Meteorological Society Annual Meeting)

Tuesday, 14 January 2020: 1:30 PM-2:30 PM

254B (Boston Convention and Exhibition Center)

Host: Eighth AMS Symposium on the Joint Center for Satellite Data Assimilation (JCSDA)

Cochairs:

Ron Gelaro, NASA/GSFC, Greenbelt, MD and Yannick Trémolet, Joint Center for Satellite Data Assimilation, Boulder, CO

Atmospheric aerosols impact the effective assimilation of satellite radiance observations sensitive to their presence. Presentations in this session describe methods to account for and assimilate aerosol-affected channels.
