13: 4D-Var Data Assimilation for Navy Mesoscale NWP
نویسنده
چکیده
The long-term goal of this Rapic Transition Process (RTP) project is to provide the warfighter with superior battlespace environmental awareness in terms of high fidelity four-dimensional (4D) depiction of the regional/mesoscale atmospheric states. This situational awareness is a key aspect of information superiority in the DoD’s strategic plan to ensure battlespace dominance in the 21st century. This goal is to be accomplished by providing COAMPS with the best possible initial condition through the development and use of a next generation mesoscale atmospheric 4D variational (4D-Var) data assimilation system, COAMPS/NAVDAS-AR (Accelerated Representer), or COAMPS-AR for short.

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 کاملReconstructing Large- and Mesoscale Dynamics in the Black Sea Region from Satellite Imagery and Altimetry Data - A Comparison of Two Methods
Two remote sensing methods, satellite altimetry and 4D-Var assimilation of satellite imagery, are used to compute surface velocity fields in the Black Sea region. Surface currents derived from the two methods are compared for several cases with intense mesoscale and large-scale dynamics during low wind conditions. Comparison shows that the obtained results coincide well quantitatively and quali...
متن کاملReduced-order Observation Sensitivity in 4d-var Data Assimilation
Observation sensitivity techniques have been initially developed in the context of 3D-Var data assimilation for applications to targeted observations (Baker and Daley 2000, Doerenbecher and Bergot 2001). Adjoint-based methods are currently implemented in NWP to monitor the observation impact on analysis and short-range forecasts (Fourrié et al. 2002, Langland and Baker 2004, Zhu and Gelaro 2008...
متن کاملOperational Use of AIRS Observations at the Met Office
Observations from the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) have been operationally assimilated into the Met Office’s Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) model since 26 May 2004. AIRS observations are screened by a 1D-Var pre-processing stage before being passed to the Met Office’s 4D-Var data assimilation system. The 1D-Var pre-processing stage is used for quality control, bias correction, cloud ...
