JAIVEX: Met Office operational unified model (UM) output
Abstract
This dataset contains output from the Met Office operational unified model (UM) in support of the Joint Airborne IASI Validation Experiment (JAIVEX).
The Infrared Atmospheric Sounding Interferometer (IASI) instrument was launched on the METOP satellite in October 2006 (delayed from April 2006). The European Organisation for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites (Eumetsat) provided funds for the Facility for Airborne Atmospheric Measurement (FAAM) aircraft BAe146 to be involved in validation of IASI radiative transfer and some level 2 products. Flights were flown over oceans to coincide with METOP satellite overpasses. Further low level flights were flown over specific land calibration sites to characterise land surface emissivity. This dataset does not contain data collected by IASI on the Metop satellite.

| Title | Met Office operational unified model (UM) deployed on Met Office Computer network |
| Abstract | This computation involved: Met Office operational unified model (UM) deployed on Met Office Computer network. The Unified Model is the name given to the suite of atmospheric and oceanic numerical modelling software developed and used at the Met Office. The formulation of the model supports global and regional domains and is applicable to a wide range of temporal and spatial scales that allow it to be used for both numerical weather prediction and climate modelling as well as a variety of related research activities. The Unified Model was introduced into operational service in 1992. Since then, both its formulation and capabilities have been substantially enhanced. |
