Four-Dimensional Data Assimilation

چکیده
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 the surface thermal energy induce mesoscale circulations.

Wavelet Based Change Detection for Four Dimensional Assimilation Data in Space and Time Domains
Method for time change detection of four dimensional assimilation data by means of wavelet analysis is proposed together with spatial change detection with satellite imagery data. The method is validated with assimilation data and the same scale of satellite imagery data. Experimental results show that the proposed method does work well in visually.

متن کاملA Time-parallel Approach to Strong-constraint Four-dimensional Variational Data Assimilation
A parallel-in-time algorithm based on an augmented Lagrangian approach is proposed to solve four-dimensional variational (4D-Var) data assimilation problems. The assimilation window is divided into multiple sub-intervals that allows to parallelize cost function and gradient computations. Solution continuity equations across interval boundaries are added as constraints. The augmented Lagrangian ...
متن کاملFour-Dimensional Data Assimilation and Numerical Weather Prediction
All forecast models, whether they represent the state of the weather, the spread of a disease, or levels of economic activity, contain unknown parameters. These parameters may be the model’s initial conditions, its boundary conditions, or other tunable parameters which have to be determined. Four dimensional variational data assimilation (4D-Var) is a method of estimating this set of parameters...
متن کاملFour-dimensional ensemble variational (4D-En-Var) data assimilation for the HIgh Resolution Limited Area Model (HIRLAM)
A four-dimensional ensemble variational (4D-EnVar) data assimilation has been developed for a limited area model. The integration of tangent linear and adjoint models, as applied in standard 4D-Var, is replaced with the use of an ensemble of non-linear model states to estimate fourdimensional background error covariances over the assimilation time window. The computational costs for 4D-En-Var a...
متن کاملA Comparison Study of Data Assimilation Algorithms for Ozone Forecasts
The objective of this report is to evaluate the performances of different data assimilation schemes with the aim of designing suitable assimilation algorithms for short-range ozone forecasts in realistic applications. The underlying atmospheric chemistry-transport models are stiff but stable systems with high uncertainties (e.g., over 20% for ozone daily peaks, Hanna et al. [1998]; Mallet and S...
متن کاملFour-dimensional Data Assimilation for Coupled Physical-acoustical Fields
The estimation of oceanic environmental and acoustical fields is considered as a single coupled data assimilation problem. The four-dimensional data assimilation methodology employed is Error Subspace Statistical Estimation. Environmental fields and their dominant uncertainties are predicted by an ocean dynamical model and transferred to acoustical fields and uncertainties by an acoustic propag...
