1 TES Algorithm Status Helen Worden
2 Outline TES Instrument System Testing Algorithm updates One Day Test (ODT) 2
3 TES System Testing TV3-TV19: Interferometer-only thermal vacuum testing (11/00 to 5/02) Achieved nearly optimal modulation. ST1: First integrated system test (8/17/02-8/28/02) The interferometer alignment was considerably different from interferometer only testing. High scan-to-scan radiometric instability. Larger than expected ice build-up caused significant signal loss. Approx. 150 minor issues identified. All data processed by Cal-SIPS through L1A. ST2: Implemented some fixes, further characterization (10/17/02-11/03/02) Confirmed radiometric instability due to ASICS electronic filters. Bypassing filters eliminated variability at the expense of more noise (~3x). Interferometer alignment found to depend on temperature and to drift significantly with time. Detector 1A, pixel 1 started oscillating. Pixel channel shifts still observed. 3
4 TES System Testing (cont.) ST3: Interferometer bolts loosened to simulate kinematic mount (12/04/02-12/17/02) Better initial alignment, but still observed drift. Tested detector de-icing. Higher signals and more favorable shear observed at higher interferometer temperatures. Verified fix (shorting) to 1A pixel 1. Lose pixel, but not entire array. ST4: Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) mounts installed + Pre-vibe baseline (1/26/03-2/17/03) SMA mounts may have improved initial alignment. Mechanical systems analysis together with engineering model beam splitter test test point towards friction between KBr beam splitter and RTV as possible cause of drift. ST5: Instrument Calibration (3/18/03-4/13/03) Radiometric: linearity, gain, noise, onboard radiometric source (OBRCS) Spatial: field of view (FOV) response, detector co-alignment, OBSCS Spectral: Instrument line shape (ILS) from gas cell and CO 2 laser 4

10 New L1 Algorithms To address issues found in System Testing L1A Channel shifting determination: mean value algorithm L1B Shear determination algorithm Ice buildup detection Potential need for dynamic frequency correction if interferometer shear is not stable post-launch. 10
11 Impacts of Instrument Characterization To L2 Retrievals Increased noise because electrical filters could not be used. Increased noise degrades retrieval precision and increases computational burden because larger spectral window frequency ranges must be selected to optimize information content. Other instrument model parameters such as FOV and ILS were characterized and default values were replaced with real ones. 11
12 Estimated O 3 Errors from Microwindow Selection Pre- system testing noise Post system testing noise 12
13 One Day Test (ODT) Science Objectives Test L2 algorithm accuracy, robustness & performance for a large number of retrievals Nadir, 3504 Limb targets Determine which retrieval diagnostics and visualization methods will be most useful for monitoring science data quality & instrument performance. Evaluate statistical accuracy of error estimates as compared to known errors (true-retrieved). Can t do this with real data. Determine if target scene selection would significantly improve performance by reducing the number of iterations required. 13
14 TES One-Day Test Input and Assumptions Simulated TES spectra were created using profiles sampled from MOZART3 (NCAR) model data. MOZART resolution is 2.8 x2.8 with 66 vertical levels (0-140 km). MOZART3 was driven by WACCM met. fields; data are for the Oct. 2 day of an arbitrary year. (WACCM = Whole Atmosphere Community Climate Model, from NCAR) No clouds or aerosols. Results from this 1 st test will be a baseline for later tests. Retrieved surface T, but not surface emissivity. Noise added to simulations is from instrument characterization.

17 Current / Future Work Updating the ATBD (now at V1.2, V2.0 by 10/2003) Preparation for post-launch mayhem (a.k.a. commissioning) Aura Intercomparisons Limb 2-D retrieval and characterization - uses 3 limb measurements to retrieve 4 profiles over 6 o latitude. Cloud top pressure retrieval - include lower bound pressure in retrieval vector Retrievals with transmissive clouds/aerosols using proxy gray-body layers. 17
