Update on Analysis Nudging Fdda in Wrf-arw

Wrf-arw Analysis Nudging Update and Future Development Plan

Implementation of Observation-nudging Based Fdda into Wrf for Supporting Atec Test Operations

In the last few years, NCAR and the Army Test and Evaluation Command (ATEC) have jointly developed a real-time rapid-cycling FDDA and forecast (RTFDDA) system. This MM5-based system has been deployed and is running operationally at five Army testing ranges. The ATEC RTFDDA data assimilation procedure was developed based on the observation-nudging scheme in the standard MM5 (Stauffer and Seaman ...

Meteorological Modeling Using the WRF-ARW Model for Grand Bay Intensive Studies of Atmospheric Mercury

Measurements at the Grand Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve support a range of research activities aimed at improving the understanding of the atmospheric fate and transport of mercury. Routine monitoring was enhanced by two intensive measurement periods conducted at the site in summer 2010 and spring 2011. Detailed meteorological data are required to properly represent the weather condit...

A Comparison of HWRF, ARW and NMM Models in Hurricane Katrina (2005) Simulation

The life cycle of Hurricane Katrina (2005) was simulated using three different modeling systems of Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) mesoscale model. These are, HWRF (Hurricane WRF) designed specifically for hurricane studies and WRF model with two different dynamic cores as the Advanced Research WRF (ARW) model and the Non-hydrostatic Mesoscale Model (NMM). The WRF model was developed and...

Implementation and evaluation of cloud analysis with WSR-88D reflectivity data for GSI and WRF-ARW

[1] The cloud analysis procedure of the Advanced Regional Prediction System (ARPS) is implemented in a proposed operational numerical forecast system composed of the Grid-point Statistical Interpolation (GSI) and the Advanced Research WRF (WRF-ARW). The case of 23 May 2005 Central Plains storm cluster is used to assess the impact of the cloud analysis using reflectivity data from six operationa...
