21st Conference on Weather Analysis and Forecasting/17th Conference on Numerical Weather Prediction 15B.7 A SEQUENTIAL VARIATIONAL ANALYSIS APPROACH FOR MESOSCALE DATA ASSIMILATION

چکیده
A Space and Time Mesoscale Analysis System (STMAS) has been developed at Forecast Systems Laboratory (FSL) to generate a gridded analysis of surface observations. It is a three-dimensional variational analysis (3DVAR) of horizontal space and time instead of pressure or height levels. It is used to detect boundary layer phenomena, frontal zones, and various nonlinear phenomena, and has been used in the DTC Weather Forecast Experiments (Koch et al. 2005) to verify 5-km resolution WRF model forecasts.

متن کاملA Three-Dimensional Variational Data Assimilation System for MM5: Implementation and Initial Results
A limited-area three-dimensional variational data assimilation (3DVAR) system applicable to both synoptic and mesoscale numerical weather prediction is described. The system is designed for use in time-critical realtime applications and is freely available to the data assimilation community for general research. The unique features of this implementation of 3DVAR include (a) an analysis space r...
متن کاملDevelopment of a hybrid variational-ensemble data assimilation technique for observed lightning tested in a mesoscale model
Lightning measurements from the Geostationary Lightning Mapper (GLM) that will be aboard the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite – R Series will bring new information that can have the potential for improving the initialization of numerical weather prediction models by assisting in the detection of clouds and convection through data assimilation. In this study we focus on investig...
متن کاملCalibrated Probabilistic Mesoscale Weather Field Forecasting: The Geostatistical Output Perturbation
Probabilistic weather forecasting consists of finding a joint probability distribution for future weather quantities or events. It is typically done by using a numerical weather prediction model, perturbing the inputs to the model in various ways, often depending on data assimilation, and running the model for each perturbed set of inputs. The result is then viewed as an ensemble of forecasts, ...
متن کاملMesoscale Numerical Weather Prediction with the WRF Model
Through a collaborative partnership, principally among NCAR, NOAA, DoD, OU/CAPS, FAA, and universities, the U.S. modeling community is developing a next-generation mesoscale model, known as the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model. The goals of the WRF project are to develop an advanced mesoscale forecast and data assimilation system and to accelerate research advances into operations. ...
