LIS in the news


2009

LIS is being used by the science definition team of the SMAP Mission (Soil Moisture Active Passive Mission) to generate 1km land surface background conditions for Observing System Simulation Experiments (OSSE's) as part of SMAP algorithm development.

On 24 February 2009, the Air Force Weather Agency (AFWA) implemented LIS in an initial operational configuration (IOC) as the next-generation hydro-meteorological analyis system targeted to replace the Agricultural Meteorology (AGRMET) model. The LIS system produces products on a 1/4 degree spatial resolution, globally, which increases the existing AGRMET's resolution from 1/2 degree. The final operational configuration (FOC) is targeted to be on February 28, 2010.
