Microphysical Retrieval from Doppler Radar Reflectivity Using Variational Data Assimilation
One of the microphysical variables, the rainwater mixing ratio qr, is retrieved from the observed reflectivity of Doppler radar by a 3D variational data assimilation system. The qr as an analysis variable is obtained by minimizing a cost function defined as the difference between observed radar reflectivity and its retrieval from qr, plus the difference between qr and its background field from ...
متن کاملFour-Dimensional Data Assimilation
Surface inhomogeneities, including boundaries between different types of vegetations and land use patterns, have important effects on the structure of the atmospheric boundary layer. Changes in the surface roughness, temperature and wetness make the planetary boundary layer (PBL) nonhomogeneous and produce substantial horizontal gradients of boundary layer properties. Significant differences in...
متن کاملImproved Doppler Radar/Satellite Data Assimilation
Our goal is to develop a short-term high-resolution data assimilation capability that can provide the Navy with improved analyses and forecasts of atmospheric conditions with sufficient detail and accuracy for supporting the Navy mission in threat detection, weapons deployment, and weather safe operations. The data assimilation system will utilize all available weather data, such as Doppler rad...
متن کاملImproving Wind and Rain Simulations for Tropical Cyclones with the Assimilation of Doppler Radar Data
More accurate prediction of the strong winds and heavy rain associated with tropical cyclones using numerical weather prediction (NWP) models would be helpful in the provision of weather services for the public. In this paper, the impact of assimilating radar data in the simulation of Typhoon Neoguri and Severe Tropical Storm Kammuri in 2008 is studied using Weather Research and Forecasting (WR...
متن کاملProcessing of Doppler radar radial winds for data assimilation
Atmospheric wind field is 3-dimensional and variable over time and space. Doppler radar measures one component of the wind vector, ie. the radar radial component. For complete description of the wind field simultaneous measurements should be made with three Doppler radars. Usually only one radar is available and the availability of the other two radars is compencated by simplifying assumptions ...
