In this study, such capabilities are further developed to assimilate GOES GLM FED data within the GSI ensemble-variational(EnVar) hybrid data assimilation(DA) framework. The results of assimilating the GLM FED data using 3DVar, and pure En3DVar(PEn3DVar, using 100% ensemble covariance and no static covariance) are compared with those of EnKF/DfEnKF for a supercell storm case. The focus of this study is to validate the correctness and evaluate the performance of the new implementation rather than comparing the performance of FED DA among different DA schemes. Only the results of 3DVar and pEn3DVar are examined and compared with EnKF/DfEnKF. Assimilation of a single FED observation shows that the magnitude and horizontal extent of the analysis increments from PEn3DVar are generally larger than from EnKF, which is mainly caused by using different localization strategies in EnFK/DfEnKF and PEn3DVar as well as the integration limits of the graupel mass in the observation operator. Overall, the forecast performance of PEn3DVar is comparable to EnKF/DfEnKF, suggesting correct implementation.展开更多
利用基于中尺度数值模式WRF(Weather Research and Forecast)的集合卡尔曼滤波(EnKF,Ensemble Kalman Filter)同化系统直接同化广东地区雷达反射率资料,对2017年台风“天鸽”(1713,Hato)近海发展以及降水预报效果进行数值模拟分析研究...利用基于中尺度数值模式WRF(Weather Research and Forecast)的集合卡尔曼滤波(EnKF,Ensemble Kalman Filter)同化系统直接同化广东地区雷达反射率资料,对2017年台风“天鸽”(1713,Hato)近海发展以及降水预报效果进行数值模拟分析研究。结果显示,直接同化雷达反射率资料后,台风的回波强度和范围有了明显改善,可更好地调整水汽场、水凝物和温度场。当台风风场和水汽场调整后,进入台风主体部分的水汽量显著增加,使得台风强度增强,台风中心最低海平面气压降低,与实况更接近。同化雷达反射率资料后,6 h和24 h降水强度和落区预报效果有显著改善,尤其是能提高大暴雨和特大暴雨量级的TS评分,此外地面2 m温度和2 m相对湿度的预报效果也有改进。展开更多

To create initial conditions with high quality for simulation, the present study implemented a data assimilation scheme based on the EnKF method to ingest the satellite-retrieved cloud water path(C_(w)) and tested it in WRF. The scheme uses the vertical integration of forecasted cloud water content to transform control variables to the observation space, and creates the correlations between C_(w) and control variables in the flow-dependent background error covariance based on all the ensemble members, so that the observed cloud information can affect the background temperature and humidity. For two typhoons in 2018(Yagi and Rumiba), assimilating C_(w) significantly increases the simulated rainfalls and TC intensities. In terms of the average equitable threat score of daily moderate to heavy rainfall(5-120 mm), the improvements are over 130%, and the dry biases are cut by about 30%. Such improvements are traced down to the fact that C_(w) assimilation increases the moisture content, especially that further away from the TC center, which provides more precipitable water for the rainfall,strengthens the TC and broadens the TC size via latent heat release and internal wind field adjustment.展开更多
