Assimilation of stratospheric and mesospheric temperatures from MLS and SABER into a global NWP model
The forecast model and three-dimensional variational data assimilation components of the Navy Operational Global Atmospheric Prediction System (NOGAPS) have each been extended into the upper stratosphere and mesosphere to form an Advanced Level Physics High Altitude (ALPHA) version of NOGAPS extending to ∼100 km. This 5 NOGAPS-ALPHA NWP prototype is used to assimilate stratospheric and mesosphe...
متن کاملCalibration and Evaluation of Envisat Temperature and Ozone Data Using Statistics from the Uk Met. Office Nwp System
This paper discusses the latest results from ongoing work concerning the calibration and evaluation of temperature and ozone from the Microwave Limb Sounder (MLS) instrument aboard NASA’s Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite (UARS). The method involves using the data assimilation statistics from the UK Met. Office Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) System. This work provides the template for fut...
متن کاملAn International Network of Ground-based Microwave Radiometers for the Assimilation of Temperature and Humidity Profiles into Nwp Models
Temperature and humidity retrievals from an international network of ground-based microwave radiometers (MWR) have been collected and synchronized to exploit the potential for data assimilation into Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) modeling. This activity is carried on in preparation to the HyMeX Special Observing Period starting in September 2012. The domain under analysis is the HyMeX West ...
متن کاملObservation Operators for the Assimilation of Occultation Data into Atmospheric Models: A Review
During the past decade, researchers have been working to develop methods for the assimilation of Global Positioning System (GPS) radio occultation data into numerical weather prediction (NWP) models. Until recently, two strategies have received the most attention: 1) assimilation of the retrieved bending angle profiles, and 2) assimilation of the retrieved refractivity profiles. The assimilatio...
متن کاملInterpreting, Improving, and Augmenting Multi-Model Ensembles
It is operational impossible to maintain a multi-model development, data assimilation, and forecasting system at a single NWP center. This motivates extracting as much information as possible from the analyses and forecasts currently available from different operational NWP centers. This collection of analyses and forecasts from different NWP centers is denoted the poor man’s multi-model (PM MM...
