A Local Ensemble Kalman Filter for the Ncep Gfs Model
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper outlines the basic concept and mathematical formulation of the Local Ensemble Kalman Filter (LEKF, Ott et al. 2002 and 2003) data assimilation scheme. Some important properties of the scheme are illustrated by numerical experiments with the Lorenz-96 model. Initial implementations of the LEKF on the National Centers for Environmental Prediction Global Forecast System (NCEP GFS) are discussed. Tests of these implementations under the perfect model hypothesis are conducted.

Ensemble-based observation impact estimates using the NCEP GFS
The impacts of the assimilated observations on the 24 hour forecasts are estimated with the ensemble-based method proposed by Kalnay et al. using the ensemble Kalman filter (EnKF). This method estimates the relative impact of observations in data assimilation similarly to the adjoint-based method proposed by Langland and Baker but without using the adjoint model. It is implemented with the Nati...
متن کامل6.2 Estimation of Model Errors in the Local Ensemble Transform Kalman Filter
Ensemble Kalman Filters (EnKF) have been shown to be more accurate than 3D-Var in data assimilation simulations under the assumption of a perfect model. However, in reality, the forecast model has deficiencies and does not represent the atmospheric behavior precisely due to lack of resolution, approximate parameterizations of subgrid scale physical processes, and numerical dispersion. For assim...
متن کاملAssimilation of Radial Velocity and Reflectivity Data from Coastal WSR88D Radars using an Ensemble Kalman Filter for the Analysis and Forecast of Landfalling Hurricane Ike (2008)
Ensemble Kalman filter (EnKF) assimilation and forecasting experiments are performed for the case of Hurricane Ike (2008), the third most destructive hurricane hitting the USA. Data from two coastal WSR-88D radars are carefully quality controlled before assimilation. In the control assimilation experiment, reflectivity (Z) and radial velocity (Vr) data from two radars are assimilated at 10 min ...
متن کاملAccounting for Model Errors in Ensemble Data Assimilation
This study addresses the issue of model errors with the ensemble Kalman filter. Observations generated from the NCEP–NCAR reanalysis fields are assimilated into a low-resolution AGCM. Without an effort to account for model errors, the performance of the local ensemble transform Kalman filter (LETKF) is seriously degraded when compared with the perfect-model scenario. Several methods to account ...
