The density of the station network used varies through time, and for different climate variables — for example, for the temperature variables the number of stations rises from about 270 in 1914 to 600 in the mid-1990s, before falling to 450 in 2006.\r\n\r\nRegression and interpolation are used to generate values on a regular grid from the irregular station network, taking into account factors such as latitude and longitude, altitude and terrain shape, coastal influence, and urban land use. This alleviates the impact of station openings and closures on homogeneity, but the impacts of a changing station network cannot be removed entirely, especially in areas of complex topography or sparse station coverage. The methods used to generate the monthly and annual grids are described in more detail in a paper published in the International Journal of Climatology, vol. 25 (2005), pages 1,041-1,054, which can be downloaded here: Generation of monthly gridded data sets for a range of climatic variables over the UK (PDF, 590 kB).

The IMS scheme is a modified version of the EUMETSAT 1DVar IASI L2 retrieval, resulting from the study “Optimal Estimation Method retrievals with IASI, AMSU and MHS measurements” (R. Siddans et al., 2015). The IMS scheme differs from the EUMETSAT L2 scheme through the addition of microwave channels from AMSU and MHS to the measurement vector, and the addition of surface spectral emissivity and cloud to the state vector. There are also differences in the prior assumptions made by the retrieval and RTTOV coefficients used.\r\n\r\nThe IMS scheme measurement vector comprises the same subset of 139 IASI channels as the EUMETSAT L2 scheme (700-1900 cm-1), all (functioning) AMSU channels, and all MHS channels.

The extent of lightpath shortening and enhancement due to atmospheric scattering by clouds and aerosols can be indicated by comparing the retrieved CH4 column with a priori knowledge. If the difference ∆CH4 exceeds a certain threshold, observations are strongly contaminated by clouds and are rejected. In a second step, the SICOR full physics retrieval approach is used to infer CO columns from the adjacent spectral window, 2324-2338 nm. Here, the methane absorption features are used to infer information on atmospheric scattering by clouds and aerosols, which passed the cloud filter, together with the atmospheric CO and H2O abundances, surface albedo, and spectral calibration of the reflectance spectrum. The scattering layer has a triangular height distribution of fixed geometrical thickness, and its optical depth and height are parameters to be retrieved.

In OCRA, optical sensor measurements are divided into two components: a cloud-free background and a remainder expressing the influence of clouds. OCRA was first developed for GOME in the late 1990s, when enough data from the three sub-pixel broad-band PMDs (Polarization Measurement Devices) had accumulated to allow for the construction of the global cloud-free composite which is the key element in the algorithm. Over the course of the 16-year GOME record, the\r\nalgorithm was refined and the cloud-free composite adjusted as more data became available. OCRA has also been applied to SCIAMACHY and GOME-2. Initial cloud-free composites for these sensors were based on GOME data before dedicated measurements became available from SCIAMACHY and GOME-2. For S5P_CLOUD_OCRA, the initial cloud-free composite will be based on GOME-2 and OMI (see section 5.2). Retrieval of Cloud Information using Neural Networks (ROCINN) is the S5P_CLOUD_ROCINN heritage. ROCINN is based on the comparison of measured and simulated satellite sun-normalized radiances in and near the O2 A-band, and it uses a neural network algorithm to retrieve cloud-top height and cloud-top albedo. ROCINN uses the cloud fraction input from OCRA as one starting point. Early versions of ROCINN used a transmittance model to compute simulated radiances, but the latest versions are based on the use of the VLIDORT radiative transfer scattering model.\r\nFor GOME and GOME-2, ROCINN Version 2.0 is the current operational algorithm in the GDP [GOME Data Processor]. This version is based on the assumption that clouds are simply Lambertian reflecting surfaces so the two main retrieval products are the cloud-top height and the cloud-top albedo itself. This is the “clouds-as-reflecting-boundaries” (CRB) model; see for example [van Roozendael et al., 2006] for GOME and [Loyola et al., 2011] for GOME 2.\r\nAlthough ROCINN 2.0 is the heritage algorithm, there is an important point of departure for S5P. For TROPOMI/S5P, ROCINN Version 3.0 was initially used, which is based on a more realistic treatment of clouds as optically uniform layers of light-scattering particles (water droplets). This is the “clouds-as-layers\" (CAL) model – here, the two main retrieval products are the cloud-top height and the cloud optical thickness. Details of this algorithm prototype may be found in [Schuessler et al., 2014]. Although the CAL model will be the default for S5P, it has been requested that the CRB method should also be retained as an option. CAL is the preferred method for the relatively small TROPOMI/S5P ground pixels (5.5 x 3.5\r\nkm2). The CRB approach works best with large pixels such as those from GOME (footprint 320 x 40 km2). [Schuessler et al., 2014] has shown that for the smaller GOME-2 pixels, CAL retrieval produces more reliable cloud information than that from CRB, not only with regard to the accuracy of the cloud parameters themselves but also with regard to the effect of cloud parameter uncertainties on total ozone accuracy. In OCRA, the intensity is regarded as a linear function of the radiometric cloud cover, and in\r\nROCINN, TOA radiances for partially cloudy scenarios are computed using a linearly weighted mean of the clear-sky and fully-cloudy calculations, the weighting factor being the cloud fraction. In the context of this IPA model, the two algorithms are consistent. With the notably smaller pixel size that comes with higher spatial resolution, 3-D cloud radiative effects will become an important consideration in error budgeting for the cloud algorithms.

First, IR Precipitation (IRP) pentad rainfall estimates are created from satellite data by calculating the percentage of time during the pentad that the IR observations indicate cold cloud tops (<235° K), and converting that value into millimeters of precipitation by means of previously determined local regression with TRMM 3B42 precipitation pentads. The IRP pentads are then expressed as percent of normal by dividing the values by their long-term (1981–2012) IRP means. These unitless values represent variations in time from the long-term mean (below normal, normal, or above normal rainfall). The percent of normal IRP pentad is then multiplied by the corresponding CHPClim pentad to produce an unbiased gridded estimate, with units of millimeters per pentad, called the Climate Hazards Group IR Precipitation (CHIRP).

Apart from the optical properties of the instrument, there is some flexibility in the electronics that determine the Earth's radiance ground pixel size. The co-addition period determines the ground pixel size in the along-track direction. Row binning (which is possible for UVN-DEMs only) determines the ground pixel size across track. The parameter space is limited, however, as choosing a smaller ground pixel size will increase the data rate and will decrease the signal-to-noise ratio for the individual ground pixels. The data rate is limited by both internal interfaces within the instrument as well as by the platform’s on-board storage and down-link capabilities. \r\nFor the Earth's radiance measurements, the co-addition period can be set to either 1080ms or 840ms. This\r\neffectively results in a ground pixel size of approximately 7km or 5.5km along-track. The co-addition period is set in the instrument configuration, initially, the nominal operations phase was started with 1080ms. For the SWIR-DEM, which contains a CMOS detector, row binning is not supported. This means that, effectively, the binning factor is 1 for the SWIR bands (Band 7 and Band 8), resulting in a ground pixel size across-track between 7km at the center and 34km at the edges of the across-track field of view. The ground pixel size varies across-track since the spatial dispersion (degrees/pixel) is constant, resulting in a ground pixel size that becomes larger towards the edges of the across-track field of view due to the Earth’s curvature.\r\nApart from the binning factor and the co-addition period, the remaining configuration parameters for\r\nthe Earth radiance measurements, including exposure time and gains, have been optimized during in-flight\r\ncommissioning for the best signal-to-noise ratio while minimizing the saturation of the detector or electronics. This optimization was based on scenes with the highest radiance levels, typically clouded scenes. Since the highest radiance level changes as a function of latitude, a total of five different settings for different latitude zones are created. For bands 4 and 6 saturation, it has not been possible to exclude saturation completely due to instrument limitations.\r\n\r\nFor more information please see the ATBD document linked in the docs tab.", "keywords": "", "inputDescription": null, "outputDescription": null, "softwareReference": null, "identifier_set": [] }, { "ob_id": 26555, "uuid": "b8ec9aef5b104c2f84c5192663af342e", "title": "NEMO-HadOCC model ocean at 1 degree with HadOCC biogeochemistry.", "abstract": "Simulations were undertaken with the NEMO-HadOCC model ocean at 1 degree with HadOCC biogeochemistry.", "keywords": "", "inputDescription": null, "outputDescription": null, "softwareReference": null, "identifier_set": [] }, { "ob_id": 26560, "uuid": "8a1587e2f3034eab8ef78e6b8ea4c5b8", "title": "HadCM3B coupled climate model", "abstract": "The Hadley Centre Climate Model 3 Bristol (HadCM3B) is a coupled climate model consisting of a 3D dynamical atmosphere26 and ocean27 component.
