متن کاملCollaborative research at the intersection of weather and climate by Mitchell
Fundamental barriers to advancing weather and climate diagnosis and prediction on time-scales from days to years are partly attributable to gaps in knowledge and the limited capability of contemporary operational and research numerical prediction systems to represent precipitating convection and its multiscale organization, particularly in the tropics. In this regard improvements in convective ...
متن کامل2.6 An Efficient Dual-Resolution Ensemble Data Assimilation Approach and Tests with the Assimilation of Doppler Radar Data
To gain a complete understanding of convective storm dynamics and to initialize storm-resolving numerical weather prediction (NWP) models, a complete description of the three-dimensional (3-D) wind, thermodynamic and microphysical fields is needed. The Doppler weather radar, as the only platform that provides volumetric information at the convective storm scale, only observes radial velocity (V...
متن کامل16.4 Sensitivity of Tornadogenesis in Very-high Resolution Numerical Simulations to Variations in Model Microphysical Parameters
With the recent improvement in numerical weather prediction (NWP) models and data assimilation techniques, together with the rapid increase in computational power, explicit predictions of both organized convective systems and individual convective storms have become a reality. As data assimilation techniques improve, the errors or uncertainties in the prediction model start to become a major is...
متن کاملAssimilation of Multiple-doppler Radar Data with the Wrf 3-d Var and a Cloud Analysis
A reliable application of a numerical weather prediction to short-range quantitative precipitation forecasting (QPF) is needed to forecast disastrous severe storms. The success of the dynamic, thermodynamic, and microphysical retrievals at the convective scale using Doppler radar observations are important but still great challenges. The use of three-dimensional variational data assimilation (3...
