Enhancement of NOAA Operational Snowfall Rate Product for GPM Constellation Satellites

Huan Meng, Ralph Ferraro, Jun Dong, Cezar Kongoli, Limin Zhao, Banghua Yan, Nai-Yu Wang, Bradley Zavodsky

• SFR is produced from ATMS and AMSU/MHS from five satellites at near real-time

• Improvement to snowfall detection (SD) for shallow snowfall: Optimally combining a satellite-based shallow snowfall SD and a model-based SD model; the combined SD also improves thick-cloud snowfall.

• Improvement to snowfall rate: Adding liquid water effect to RTM; developing more robust initialization method for cloud properties.

• Product assessment at NWS Weather Forecast Offices (WFOs): active participation from forecasters from six WFOs; feedback indicated usefulness of SFR especially in radar void regions; issues with precip phase and performance degradation in Alaska.
