SMAP Radiance Assimilation Over Land Improves GEOS Medium-Range Forecasts of Near-Surface Air Temperature and Humidity

Leveraging the NASA Center for Climate Simulation (NCCS), NASA Global Modeling and Assimilation Office (GMAO) researchers ran retrospective experiments for boreal summer 2017 assimilating L-band brightness temperature observations over land from the NASA Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) satellite mission into the NASA Goddard Earth Observing System (GEOS).
