Current Global Land Data Assimilation System (GLDAS) at NCEP Operational in CFSv2 at NCEP 01 April 2011 Noah surface model runs in semi-coupled mode with Climate Data Assimilation System version (CDASv2); daily update provides initial land states to operational Climate Forecast System version 2 (CFSv2). Forcing: CDASv2 atmospheric output, & “blended” precipitation, snow. Blended Precipitation: CPC satellite (heaviest weight in tropics); CPC gauge (heaviest mid-latitudes); model CDASv2 (high latitude). Snow: IMS cover & AFWA depth, cycled if within 0.5-2.0x “envelope”. 30+ year global land-surface climatology. Research/partners supported by the NOAA Climate Program Office, Modeling, Analysis, Predictions, and Projections (MAPP) program. Precipitation Snow CMAP Surface gauge GDAS IMS cover AFWA depth Jesse Meng, NCEP/EMC

LDAS Upgrade: GLDASv2 with New Precipitation Forcing Precipitation Data in current operation: CMAP, 5-day data latency. Unified global gauge analysis, 1-day data latency. New Precipitation Data: CPC Gauge-satellite blended analysis of daily global precipitation. 0.25o lat/lon over the global land. 1979-present. Blending information from different sources: CPC daily gauge analysis. GPCC monthly gauge data. OLR-based precipitation estimates. CMORPH-based precipitation estimates. 1-day data latency. Preliminary Results: Improved soil moisture spin-up & anomalies. Courtesy of Pingping Xie, NCEP/CPC Southwest US Northern Plains Southeast US Jesse Meng, NCEP/EMC

Land Data Sets Used in NCEP Modeling Systems Vegetation Type (1-km, IGBP-MODIS) Soil Type (1-km, STATSGO-FAO) Max.-Snow Albedo (5-km MODIS) July Jan summer winter Green Vegetation Fraction (GVF) (monthly, 1/8-deg, NESDIS/AVHRR) Snow-Free Albedo (5-km MODIS) Climatologies: fixed/annual, monthly, weekly. Near real-time observations, e.g. GVF “becoming” a land state.

Satellite-based Land Data Assimilation in NCEP Modeling Systems Use NASA Land Information System (LIS) to serve as a unified Land Data Assimilation System (LDAS) for testing both GLDAS and NLDAS. LIS EnKF-based Land Data Assimilation tool used to assimilate: Snow cover area (SCA) from operational NESDIS Interactive Multisensor Snow and Ice Mapping System (IMS), and AFWA snow depth (SNODEP) products. Build NCEP’s CFS-GLDAS by incorporating the NASA Land Information System (LIS) into NCEP’s GFS/CFS (left figure) Offline tests of the existing EnKF-based land data assimilation capabilities in LIS driven by the operational CFS. Coupled land data assimilation tests and evaluation against the operational system.
