Office (GMAO) ensemble Kalman filter-based land data assimilation system has
recently been coupled to the Goddard Earth Observing System (GEOS-5)
atmospheric modeling and data assimilation system. This coupled Land and Atmosphere Data
Assimilation System (LA-DAS) is demonstrated in this seminar, through a
series of experiments assimilating land surface skin temperature observations
into the GEOS-5 system. The assimilated skin temperature estimates are
obtained 3-hourly from geostationary Earth orbiting satellite observations,
and a dynamic observation bias correction scheme is used to address the
biases between the modeled and observed skin temperature estimates. The skin
temperature assimilation experiments are examined in terms of their impact on
the modeled skin temperature and low-level atmosphere, and on subsequent atmospheric
assimilation cycles.</span></p>
