S WVRFf - Var Implementation for Data Assimilation
The goal of this Masters project is to implement the WRF model with 3D variational assimilation (3DVAR) at MIT. A working version of WRF extends the scope of experimentation to mesoscale problems in both real and idealized scenarios. A state-of-the-art model and assimilation package can now be used to conduct science or as a benchmark to compare new methods with. The second goal of this project...
متن کاملA review of operational methods of variational and ensemble-variational data assimilation: Ensemble-variational data assimilation
Variational and ensemble methods have been developed separately by various research and development groups and each brings its own benefits to data assimilation. In the last decade or so, various ways have been developed to combine these methods, especially with the aims of improving the background-error covariance matrices and of improving efficiency. The field has become confusing, even to ma...
متن کاملOptimal observations for variational data assimilation
An important aspect of Ocean state estimation is the design of an observing system that allows the efficient study of climate aspects in the ocean. A solution of the design problem is presented here in terms of optimal observations that emerge as nondimensionalized singular vectors of the modified data resolution matrix. The actual computation is feasible only for scalar quantities in the limit...
متن کاملA Scalable Approach for Variational Data Assimilation
Data assimilation (DA) is a methodology for combining mathematical models simulating complex systems (the background knowledge) and measurements (the reality or observational data) in order to improve the estimate of the system state (the forecast). The DA is an inverse and ill posed problem usually used to handle a huge amount of data, so, it is a large and computationally expensive problem. H...
متن کاملImproved Polarimetric Calibration for Atmospheric Radars
Polarization properties of radar waves that are scattered from atmospheric objects are of great interest in meteorological studies. However, polarimetric radar measurements are often not sufficiently accurate for retrieving physical properties of targets. To compensate for errors, radar polarimetric calibration is applied. Typical calibrations are performed based on measurements of point target...
