Great Advances in Global and Regional Weather Forecasts Source: ECMWF Great slide to get the point across that NWP has made progress, but this group also needs to know that weather prediction is not a solved problem. Hence I put in a vision of later. The lead time on 500 hPa hgts may be 7 days, but the lead time on significant dynamical features in the atmosphere (potential vorticity structures) is 3 to 5 days and using the same skill definition on this slide (anomaly correlations) we only have 1 to 2 day lead times on precipitation.

NO2 Images for 15 April 2004 NASA NASA Zooming in on NO2 we can clearly see urban complexes between the clouds Localized tropospheric pollution contributions to Global/Regional pollution. ------------------ Mission Success 3c: Determining natural and anthropogenic influences on the global oxidizing power of the troposphere Mission success includes mapping and quantifying the transport and sources of tropospheric ozone, aerosols, carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides for > 1 year. Status: 20% complete. The OMI NO2 product shows sources and sinks of NO2 and is being used in near-real time. Aerosols have been discussed already. OMI is developing a CH2O product which is a good representative of VOCs. TES is mapping CO and O3. MLS-OMI TOR product shows long range O3 transport. NASA NASA

Different Perspectives! An International Organization! An Operational Agency! A Research Agency!

Summary Tremendous assets exist on orbit Must be leveraged to a greater extent Challenges (and opportunities) Transition and integration elements Different perspectives Increase coordination and cooperation – recognizing different, but complementary roles and responsibilities Bring the rigor of the existing Weather Constellation of GOS to the study of Climate Constellation
