Towards the operational assimilation of Doppler Wind at regional scale in Météo-France
Météo-France is currently developing a Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) system at convective scale that will be hopefully run operationally at the beginning of 2008. This system, called AROME, will cover the French territory with a 2.5 km horizontal resolution and will use a complete data assimilation system derived from the ALADIN 3Dvar that is operationally running at Météo-France at region...
متن کاملEffect of One-Dimensional Field Data Assimilation on Land Surface Model Flux Estimates with Implications for Improved Numerical Weather Prediction
The forecast quality from Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) models and climate models depends on accurate initialisation. Therefore variables such as latent (LE) and sensible (H) heat flux from the land surface, which provide the lower boundary condition for NWP, need to be as accurate as possible at the beginning of a forecast period. Land Surface Models (LSMs) such as the CSIRO Biosphere Mod...
متن کاملRoot Zone Soil Moisture Retrieval Using Streamflow and Surface Moisture Data Assimilation in Nested Catchments
Correct knowledge of soil moisture is important for improving the prediction of coupled land surface atmosphere interactions. This is due to the control that soil moisture exerts on the latent and sensible heat flux transfer between the land surface and atmosphere. Because of this strong dependence on moisture availability, improved atmospheric prediction requires correct initialisation of soil...
متن کاملImportance of initial state and atmospheric conditions for urban land surface models' performance
Urban land surface models (LSM) are commonly evaluated for short periods (a few weeks to months) because of limited observational data. This makes it difficult to distinguish the impact of initial conditions on model performance or to consider the response of a model to a range of possible atmospheric conditions. Drawing on results from the first urban LSM comparison, these two issues are consi...

9 10 11 ABSTRACT 12 Land Surface Models (LSM) offer a description of land surface processes and set the 13 lower boundary conditions for meteorological models. In particular the accurate description of 14 those surface variables which display a slow response in time, like root zone soil moisture or 15 vegetation biomass, is of great importance. Errors in their estimation yield significant 16 in...
