Abstract: | Re-analysis, using surface, upper-air, and satellite observations specially collected during the Arabian Sea Monsoon Experiment-I
(ARMEX-I), has been performed with a global data assimilation system at T-80/L18 resolution. Re-analysis was performed for
the entire ARMEX-I period (15th June–16th August 2002). In this paper we discuss the results based on re-analysis and subsequent
forecasts for two successive intensive observation periods associated with heavy rainfall along the west coast of India during
2–12 August, 2002. Results indicate that the re-analysed fields can bring out better synoptic features, for example troughs
along the west coast and mid tropospheric circulation over the Arabian Sea. Simulated rainfall distribution using re-analysis
as initial condition also matches observed rainfall better than data from the initial analysis. |
