区域GPS气象网站点合理布设的几点依据

区域GPS气象网反演的可降水量资料（GPS／PWV）对提高灾害性天气的监测和预报能力，改进数值天气预报精度已显示出广阔的应用前景，我国许多省市相继计划建设区域的GPS气象网。在区域GPS气象网中如何科学合理地布设GPS站就成了大家关注的问题。结合长江三角洲地区GPS气象网的情况，从长江三角洲地区的水汽通道，PWV分布的气候统计、GPS反演PWV资料的有效半径和在数值天气预报中资料同化的最大影响半径等4个方面，讨论了区域GPS网站点的分布和间距的几点依据：重点沿区域的水汽通道和强对流天气主要路径上布站，经向（南北向）的站点密度应大于纬向密度，站点的最大间距小于60km才能使反演的PwV的有效代表性和对数值预报的影响覆盖整个区域。 距     

FY-3A卫星微波资料的集合变分混合同化试验

以2012年"北京7.21暴雨"为例,实现了集合变分混合同化方法对FY-3A的微波温度仪和微波湿度仪资料的直接同化,并与三维变分方法进行了比较。结果表明:虽然两种同化方法同化FY-3A微波资料都能改进降水模拟效果,但是与实况相比,集合变分混合同化方法改进效果更为明显,其能有效减少虚假强降水的模拟,改进强降水中心位置的模拟,SAL评分定量检验也同样表明,集合变分混合同化方法对暴雨的模拟效果要优于三维变分同化方法;无论是热力学变量还是动力学变量,集合变分同化得到的初始场均方根误差均显著小于三维变分同化的结果;两种方法同化FY-3A微波资料均能改变初始场中的各种物理量信息,但不同方法得到的同化增量大小和分布却有明显的差异:三维变分同化方法对初始场的调整区域和强度都要大于混合同化方法,且其同化增量表现出均匀和各向同性的分布特点;而利用集合信息的混合同化方法得到的同化增量分布表现为非均匀性和各向异性,具有"流依赖性"的特征,这使得初始场的分布更合理,有利于改善降水的模拟效果。     

变分同化方法在Lorenz系统中的简单应用研究

利用Lorenz模式作变分同化数值试验，通过对一个简单系统的讨论，介绍四维变分同化方法。对初值敏感性和观测点的个数及观测值作了对比试验，发现随着模式对初值敏感性的增加，同化效果会越来越差；观测点越少，观测值误差越大，这些都会影响同化效果，甚至导致同化失败。     

A STUDY ON SATELLITE DATA ASSIMILATION WITH DIFFERENT ATOVS IN TYPHOON NUMERICAL EXPERIMENTS

Based on the newly developed Weather Research and Forecasting model(WRF)and its three-dimensional variational data assimilation(3DVAR)system,this study constructed twelve experiments to explore the impact of direct assimilation of different ATOVS radiance on the intensity and track simulation of super-typhoon Fanapi(2010)using a data assimilation cycle method.The result indicates that the assimilation of ATOVS radiance could improve typhoon intensity effectively.The average bias of the central sea level pressure(CSLP)drops to 18 hPa,compared to 42 hPa in the experiment without data assimilation.However,the influence due to different radiance data is not significant,which is less than 6hPa on average,implying limited improvement from sole assimilation of ATOVS radiance.The track issue is studied in the following steps.First,the radiance from the same sensor of different satellites could produce different effect.For the AMSU-A,NOAA-15 and NOAA-18,they produce equivalent improvement,whereas NOAA-16 produces slightly poor effect.And for the AMSU-B,NOAA-15 and NOAA-16,they produce equivalent and more positive effect than that provided by the AMSU-A.Second,the assimilation radiance from different sensors of the identical satellites could also produce different effect.The assimilation of AMSU-B produces the largest improvement,while the ameliorating effect of HIRS/3assimilation is inferior to that of AMSU-B assimilation,while the AMSU-A assimilation exhibits the poorest improvement.Moreover,the simultaneous assimilation of different radiance could not produce further improvement.Finally,the experiments of simultaneous assimilation radiance from multiple satellites indicate that such assimilation may lead to negative effect due to accumulative bias when adding various radiance data into the data assimilation system.Thus the assimilation of ATOVS radiance from a single satellite may perform better than that from two or three satellites.     

Impacts of Multigrid NLS-4DVar-based Doppler Radar Observation Assimilation on Numerical Simulations of Landfalling Typhoon Haikui (2012)

We applied the multigrid nonlinear least-squares four-dimensional variational assimilation(MG-NLS4DVar) method in data assimilation and prediction experiments for Typhoon Haikui(2012) using the Weather Research and Forecasting(WRF) model. Observation data included radial velocity(V_r) and reflectivity(Z) data from a single Doppler radar, quality controlled prior to assimilation. Typhoon prediction results were evaluated and compared between the NLS-4DVar and MG-NLS4DVar methods. Compared with a forecast that began with NCEP analysis data, our radar data assimilation results were clearly improved in terms of structure, intensity, track, and precipitation prediction for Typhoon Haikui(2012). The results showed that the assimilation accuracy of the NLS-4DVar method was similar to that of the MG-NLS4DVar method,but that the latter was more efficient. The assimilation of V_r alone and Z alone each improved predictions of typhoon intensity, track, and precipitation; however, the impacts of V_r data were significantly greater that those of Z data.Assimilation window-length sensitivity experiments showed that a 6-h assimilation window with 30-min assimilation intervals produced slightly better results than either a 3-h assimilation window with 15-min assimilation intervals or a 1-h assimilation window with 6-min assimilation intervals.     

GRAPES地面风场同化方案研究

随着预报准确度要求以及同化分析循环周期的缩短,具有高时空分辨率的地面观测资料在同化系统中也越来越受到重视,而且一个好的资料同化系统应该能够给出模式近地面动力、热力和湿度状况的合理分析。利用GRAPES区域同化预报系统(GRAPES——Global and Regional Assimilation and Prediction Enhanced System),在近地层Monin_Obukhov相似理论的基础上,考虑了边界层的动力和湿热力约束,建立新的地面风场观测算子。将此新方案与目前GRAPES系统使用的三次样条插值的地面同化方案进行高度场预报试验、统计试验以及降水预报的TS评分比较,结果表明,加入新方案地面风场资料同化后,预报效果和对降水的预报能力都比旧方案有所提高。     

AMSU-A全空辐射率资料同化对台风“天鸽”的预报影响研究

利用美国NCEP(National Centers for Environmental Prediction)发展的GSI(Gridpoint Statistical Interpolation)同化系统和GSM(Global Spectral Model)全球频谱预报模式作为循环同化系统,选用2017年第13号台风为研究个例,采用全空和晴空两种同化方案对AMSU-A(The Advanced Microwave Sounding Unit-A)辐射率观测开展同化对比试验,并对台风"天鸽"个例进行5 d预报,研究AMSU-A全空辐射率同化对台风天鸽发展过程预报的影响。结果表明,全空同化方案相比晴空同化方案预报的台风路径、台风中心气压以及台风最大风速预报误差更小;全空同化方案对台风"天鸽"生命周期的模拟更加准确,更接近中国气象局发布的台风天鸽最佳路径的最低气压,而晴空同化方案预报的台风发展较弱,无法预报出成熟期的台风强度;全空同化方案能够增加低层通道海上厚云覆盖区域辐射率资料同化量,增幅占AMSUA同化观测总量10%,从而改进海洋区域天气系统的热力场结构。

为加强国内卫星资料在同化系统中的应用,在自主构建的新一代WRF-EnSRF同化系统中,采用RTTOV辐射传输模式作为观测算子,并建立卫星资料读取、偏差订正及质量控制等子模块,构建出WRF-EnSRF卫星资料同化系统.运用该同化系统,同时同化NOAA-16的AMSU-A和AMSU-B的辐射率资料,进行华南暴雨过程的卫星资料同化数值模拟试验.试验结果表明:偏差订正后亮温资料拟合结果基本位于主对角线上,偏差有所降低.从TS评分看,同化试验对中雨及大雨部分的降水落区以及暴雨级别以上的降水强度的模拟效果有改善.试验证明,建立的卫星同化系统是可运行的.     

An Ensemble-Based Three-Dimensional Variational Assimilation Method for Land Data Assimilation

Land surface models are often highly nonlinear with model physics that contain parameterized discontinuities. These model attributes severely limit the application of advanced variational data assimilation methods into land data assimilation. The ensemble Kalman filter （EnKF） has been widely employed for land data assimilation because of its simple conceptual formulation and relative ease of implementation. An updated ensemble-based three-dimensional variational assimilation （En3-DVar） method is proposed for land data assimilation This new method incorporates Monte Carlo sampling strategies into the 3-D variational data assimilation framework. The proper orthogonal decomposition （POD） technique is used to efficiently approximate a forecast ensemble produced by the Monte Carlo method in a 3-D space that uses a set of base vectors that span the ensemble. The data assimilation process is thus significantly simplified. Our assimilation experiments indicate that this new En3-DVar method considerably outperforms the EnKF method by increasing assimilation precision. Furthermore, computational costs for the new En3-DVar method are much lower than for the EnKF method.

传统变分同化方法中使用各向同性和均质的背景场误差协方差,忽略了背景场误差协方差的天气系统依赖性,而在变分框架下引入集合流依赖的背景场误差协方差还需要额外的集合预报.为在变分同化中引入更合理的背景场误差协方差,通过引入云指数构建"云依赖"背景场误差协方差,提出了一种云依赖背景场误差协方差的同化方案,并应用于雷达等多源观测...
