ArialMT">The hyperspectral nature of NASA’s Atmospheric
Infrared Sounder (AIRS) provides high-quality soundings
that, along with their asynoptic observation time over
North America, are attractive sources to fill the
spatial and temporal data voids in upper air temperature
and moisture measurements for use in data assimilation
and numerical weather prediction. AIRS data can be
assimilated as either radiances or retrieved profiles.
The Short-term Prediction Research and Transition
(SPoRT) Center at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center
has successfully assimilated both AIRS radiance and
profile data to improve short-term (0-48h), regional
forecasts. Recently, SPoRT began a collaborative project
with the JCSDA to evaluate why analysis and forecast
impact from AIRS radiances is sometimes lower than
analysis and forecast impact from AIRS profiles. This
presentation is aimed at sharing SPoRT’s experiences
using AIRS radiances and retrieved profiles in regional
data assimilation activities by showing that proper
handling of issues—including cloud contamination, land
emissivity characterization, and data reduction
techniques—are necessary to produce optimal analyses and
forecasts. An overview of past and current results will
be presented along with discussion of future SPoRT data
assimilation and modeling activities with a specific
focus on how AIRS profiles can be used to further
examine AIRS radiance impact.</span><span
