Application of NUCAPS for Thermodynamic Fire Weather AnalysisNUCAPS is the NOAA Operational Retrieval algorithm for SNPP and NOAA-20 CrIS/ATMS temperature, moisture, and trace gas retrievals. The JPSS Sounding Initiative developed an experimental capability for plan-view and cross section displays of NUCAPS Soundings in AWIPS (i.e., Gridded NUCAPS). As a result of successful assessment with the NWS Anchorage CWSU and the Hazardous Weather Testbed, Gridded NUCAPS will be baselined in AWIPS 19.2.1. This offers a new opportunity to explore use of Gridded NUCAPS for various forecasting topics, especially in data sparse, remote areas. Case studies were examined to assess the utility of NUCAPS Soundings and the NUCAPS Soundings and Gridded product for fire weather potential.
