Ensemble Assimilation of Nonconventional Observations for Nowcasting
نویسنده
چکیده
The final goal of this project is to provide the US Navy with an increased capability of using Doppler radar observations in the detection and prediction of hazardous weather events that usually have a strong randomness in nature and affect the Navy operations, especially over oceans and in remote areas. By developing a high-resolution data assimilation capability that can effectively assimilate Doppler radar observations along with other conventional and remotely-sensed data, the US Navy will have the ability to analyze and forecast the battlespace atmospheric conditions with sufficient detail and accuracy for supporting the Navy mission in threat detection, weapons deployment, and weather safe operations.

Highly-Scalable Algorithms for Ensemble Data Assimilation
A complete ensemble data assimilation algorithm can be composed into three basic computational tasks: advancing an ensemble of model forecasts, computing ensembles of forward operators for available observations, and assimilating the observations to modify the ensemble of model states. Each of these tasks requires a fundamentally different pattern of communication when implemented on current ge...
متن کامل4d Ensemble Kalman Filtering for Assimilation of Asynchronous Observations
A 4-dimensional ensemble Kalman filter method (4DEnKF), which adapts ensemble Kalman filtering to the assimilation of observations that are asynchronous with the analysis cycle, is discussed. In the ideal case of linear dynamics between consecutive analyses, the algorithm is equivalent to Kalman filtering assimilation at each observation time. Tests of 4DEnKF on the Lorenz 40 variable model are...
