National Aeronautics and Some Validation Accomplishments Space Administration Jet Propulsion Laboratory by many people California Institute of Technology Pasadena, California • Radiances with aircraft instruments. • Microwave and infrared forward models using in situ observations. • Extensive comparisons with ECMWF. • Total ozone against TOMS and sondes. • Temperature and humidity with dedicated sondes. • Comparisons with 10,000+ operational sondes. • Comparisons with other A-Train observations. • Long-term trending of radiances against RTG.SST. • AWEX reconciliation of in situ upper trop humidity observations. These are all being published in Journal of Geophysical Research-Atmospheres Special Section on AIRS Validation.

National Aeronautics and Space Administration AIRS Validation: Jet Propulsion Laboratory California Institute of Technology What we can expect in the coming year? Pasadena, California • Dedicated and operational sondes as ‘ gold standard ’ for AIRS T and q. • Or is it the other way around? • Clouds related to temperature and humidity. • Trace gases • Ozone • Troposphere and polar night • CO 2 , CO, CH 4 , SO 2 • Extensive comparisons with A-Train geophysical quantities • AMSR-E water vapor, SST and cloud ice / liquid water. • TES ozone, water vapor and trace gases • MLS upper tropospheric water vapor and clouds • MODIS cloud properties and water vapor These will help establish a climate-quality data record from AIRS Eric.J.Fetzer@jpl.nasa.gov, AI Eric.J.Fetzer@jpl.nasa.gov, AI AIRS Science Team Meeting, 4-m AIRS Science Team Meeting, 4-m -may-2 -may-2 -2005 5 -2005 5
