4DVAR for Global Atmospheric Numerical Weather Prediction
نویسنده
چکیده
The long-term goal of this RTP project is to provide the warfighter with superior battlespace environmental awareness in terms of high fidelity four-dimensional (4D) depiction of the global atmospheric state. This situational awareness is a key aspect of information superiority in the DoD’s strategic plan to ensure battlespace dominance in the 21 century. This goal is to be accomplished by providing NOGAPS with the best possible set of initial conditions through the use of a next generation global atmospheric 4D variational (4DVAR) data assimilation system, NAVDAS-AR.

Prediction of Fort worth Tornadic Thunderstorms Using 3dvar and Cloud Analysis with Wsr-88d Level-ii Data
The development of high-resolution nonhydrostatic models and the rapid increase of computer power are making the explicit prediction of thunderstorms a reality (Droegemeier 1990; Lilly 1990; Droegemeier 1997; Xue et al. 2003, X03 hereafter). Data assimilation plays an important role in providing an accurate initial condition for the model forecast. The operational US WSR88D Doppler radar networ...

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 کاملEvaluating the Role of the EOF Analysis in 4DEnVar Methods
The four-dimensional variational data assimilation (4DVar) method is one of the most popular techniques used in numerical weather prediction. Nevertheless, the needs of the adjoint model and the linearization of the forecast model largely limit the wider applications of 4DVar. 4D ensemble-variational data assimilation methods (4DEnVars) exploit the strengths of the Ensemble Kalman Filter and 4D...
