THE EFFECTS OF BOGUS TYPHOON AND OBSERVED OCEANIC DATA ON THE ABILITY OF T_(213)L_(31) TO PREDICT TC TRACK

The abilities of typhoon (TC) track prediction by a medium-range forecast model T213L31 at National Meteorological Center are analyzed and its ability to improve its TC forecasts is discussed. The results show that about 57% of the TCs could be predicted by T213L31 but the initial position errors are large.The 43% area without the prediction of TC tracks is concentrated between 13°N and 20°N and east of 120°E and lack of conventional observation data is the main reason for the absence of TC prediction in this area.The adding of bogus TC could improve the ability of TC track prediction when there is no TC vortex in the analysis field, but could only have positive effects on the short-range TC track prediction when there is TC vortex in the T213L31 analysis field.

AMSR2辐射率资料同化对台风“山神”分析和预报的影响研究

土壤湿度是地球系统模拟的重要参数之一,准确获得其时空分布和变化特征是研究陆-气相互作用的基础。再分析资料和陆面数据同化资料均可提供全球或区域高分辨率土壤湿度产品,但在使用前需要对其进行评估分析。利用土壤湿度观测数据,计算ERA5、ERA5-Land、NCEP-DOE R2、CRA40再分析资料和GLDAS-Noah、GLDAS-CLSM、CLDAS陆面数据同化资料土壤湿度产品与观测数据的中位数、模拟偏差、相关系数等统计指标,并分季节和气候区讨论不同土壤湿度产品在中国北方地区的模拟效果。结果表明：整体来看,CRA40与观测值的相关性最好,ERA5和ERA5-Land分别对干中心、湿中心模拟效果更好,GLDAS-Noah对于较干土壤地区模拟略偏湿,CLDAS对较湿土壤地区模拟结果以系统性偏干为主,NCEP-DOE R2和GLDAS-CLSM模拟效果较差;ERA5、ERA5-Land、NCEP-DOE R2、GLDAS-Noah和CLDAS在所有季节均为模拟正偏差,春季模拟效果较好的是CRA40、ERA5-Land,夏季和秋季ERA5-Land、ERA5和CRA40与观测值相关性较好,不同产...

集合卡尔曼滤波同化多普勒雷达资料的数值试验

利用集合卡尔曼滤波(EnKF)在云数值模式中同化模拟多普勒雷达资料,并考察了不同条件下EnKF同化方法的性能.结果显示,经过几个同化周期后,EnKF分析结果非常接近真值.单多普勒雷达资料EnKF同化对雷达位置不太敏感,双雷达资料同化结果在同化的初期阶段比单雷达资料同化结果准确.同化由反射率导出的雨水比直接同化反射率资料更有效,联合同化径向速度和雨水有利于提高同化分析效果.协方差对EnKF同化效果起着非常重要的作用,考虑模式全部预报变量与径向速度协方差的同化效果比仅考虑速度场与径向速度协方差的同化效果好.雷达资料缺值降低了同化效果,此时增加地面常规观测资料的同化可以明显提高同化分析效果.EnKF同化技术对雷达观测资料误差不太敏感.初始集合对同化分析有较大影响.EnKF同化受集合大小和观测资料影响半径.同化对模式误差较敏感.利用EnKF同化双多普勒雷达资料,分析了一次梅雨锋暴雨过程的中尺度结构.结果表明,EnKF同化技术能够从双多普勒雷达资料反演暴雨中尺度系统的动力场、热力场和微物理场,反演的风场是较准确的,反演的热力场和微物理场分布也是基本合理的.中低层切变线是此次暴雨的主要动力特征,对流云表现为低层辐合、高层辐散并有垂直上升运动伴随,其热力特征表现为低层是低压区,高层为高压区,中部为暖区而上、下部为冷区,水汽、云水和雨水分别集中在对流云体内、上升气流区和强回波区.     

Representations of inverse covariances by differential operators

In the cost function of three- or four-dimensional variational data assimilation, each term is weighted by the inverse of its associated error covariance matrix and the background error covariance matrix is usually much larger than the other covariance matrices. Although the background error covariances are traditionally normalized and parameterized by simple smooth homogeneous correlation functions, the covariance matrices constructed from these correlation functions are often too large to be inverted or even manipulated. It is thus desirable to find direct representations of the inverses of background error correlations. This problem is studied in this paper. In particular, it is shown that the background term can be written into f dx|Dv(x)|^2, that is, a squared L2 norm of a vector differential operator D, called the D-operator, applied to the field of analysis increment v(x). For autoregressive correlation functions, the D-operators are of finite orders. For Gaussian correlation functions, the D-operators are of infinite order. For practical applications, the Gaussian D-operators must be truncated to finite orders. The truncation errors are found to be small even when the Gaussian D-operators are truncated to low orders. With a truncated D-operator, the background term can be easily constructed with neither inversion nor direct calculation of the covariance matrix. D-operators are also derived for non-Gaussian correlations and transformed into non-isotropic forms.
