Atmospheric River Reconnaissance (AR Recon) missions provide data, visualization, and web support to the NOAA Environmental Modeling Center (EMC) for their weather, water, and climate predictions. AR are weather phenomena that drive heavy rain events that often cause floods. Researchers completed a successful AR Recon mission using sensitivity tools to identify potential flight paths and developed several data impact evaluation tools based on AR analysis, including the first version of a new high resolution regional model called the Atmospheric River Analysis and Forecast System (AR-AFS). Data impact evaluation is done by comparing module runs of the Global Forecast System for control (with AR Recon data) and denial (without AR Recon data), and an AR analysis is done using data from the Global Ensemble Forecast System.
