Description
Our team at the Cooperative Institute for Research in the Atmosphere (CIRA) has begun a multiyear effort to reprocess and extend the NVAP-M global water vapour dataset to span the 40 years from 1988-2027. Satellite microwave observations provide the core data for NVAP. Hypersectral infrared instruments such as AIRS, IASI and CrIS provide a foundation for the 21st century portion of the time series. Examples of analyses for both climate and weather / climate interface studies will be presented. Plans for reprocessing and extending the record in light of sampling limitations will described. Increased use of passive microwave soundings using both Gaussian and non-Gaussian frameworks will be discussed.
