RAOB Rerun Wind Comparison
Go to Main Page
This comparison is the same as the RAOB wind comparison except the data is rerun with a reduction in resolution by a factor of 2, and the target box is 7 x 7 instead of 13 x 13. The search box is still the same size. A comparison is also done with the IR original data vs the IR reduced resolution data (see the IR-IR comparison). The same is done for the WV original data vs the WV reduced resolution data. Data is compared at 12Z everyday.
GOAL: Winds at 2x reduced resolution data should better match the RAOBS than the original resolution winds do. Original resolution RAOB-wind comparisons should be close to the MODIS-RAOB wind comparisons (from RAOB Wind Comparison page).
  Data is from Day 229 (Aug. 2003) to Day 241.  
RAW DATA:
RAOBS:   comparisons at the original data resolution:    NP TERRA IR    &    NP TERRA WV
                comparisons at 2 x reduced resolution data:    NP TERRA IR -2 x    &    NP TERRA WV -2 x
INTER-COMPARISON:   original data vs reduced resolution data:    IR-IR Comp    &   WV-WV Comp
CUMULATIVE AVERAGES:
- RAOBS       INTER-COMPARISON

This comparison is the same as above except it is rerun with a reduction in resolution by a factor of 3.
  Data is from Day 246 (Aug. 2003) to Day 297 (Oct. 2003).  
RAW DATA:
