assimilating future geostationary platforms into global
reanalyses",

organization = "AGU Fall Meeting",
abstract = "Reanalysis datasets are a widely used tool because of their
ability to accurately represent the state of the climate to within
approximately a few weeks of the present. They do this through
assimilating both dynamical and chemical observations, often from
polar-orbiting satellite platforms, into the model framework.
However, the next generation of geostationary atmospheric
composition satellites will present a new set of observations with
enhanced temporal resolution that need to be assimilated. Our goal
is to utilize high temporal resolution Pandora observations in the
northern hemisphere mid-latitudes and identify any biases that
currently exist in two global reanalysis datasets ahead of this
upcoming challenge. Further, we evaluate these biases with an
outlook for the future assimilation of both Pandora and
geostationary platforms. We compare total column ozone from the
NASA MERRA-2 and ESA ERA-5 reanalyses to Pandora observations and
constrain our comparisons by dynamics (e.g., 24-hour pressure
fall) and diurnal variability. We find a marked negative impact on
comparisons with observations during the passage of dynamic
weather patterns. Further, we find a negative impact on
comparisons outside of afternoon satellite overpass times. This
suggests a strong dependence in the models to these overpasses and
that there may be improvement in representing total ozone through
the assimilation of observations with enhanced higher temporal
resolution.",
