Comparison of Model-Produced and Observed Microwave Radiances and Estimation of Background Error Covariances for Hydrometeor Variables within Hurricanes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A radiative transfer model was updated to better simulate Special Sensor Microwave Imager (SSM/I)?observed brightness temperatures in areas of high ice concentration. The difference between the lowest observed and ...
Tests of an Adjoint Mesoscale Model with Explicit Moist Physics on the Cloud Scale
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An adjoint modeling system based upon the Naval Research Laboratory?s Coupled Ocean?Atmosphere Mesoscale Prediction System?s atmospheric component has been developed. The system includes the adjoint model of the explicit ...
Adjoint Sensitivity and Predictability of Tropical Cyclogenesis
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he sensitivity of tropical cyclogenesis and subsequent intensification is explored by applying small perturbations to the initial state in the presence of organized mesoscale convection and synoptic-scale forcing using the ...
Initial Condition Sensitivity and Predictability of a Severe Extratropical Cyclone Using a Moist Adjoint
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he sensitivity and predictability of a rapidly developing extratropical cyclone, Xynthia, that had a severe impact on Europe is explored using a high-resolution moist adjoint modeling system. The adjoint diagnostics indicate ...
On the Impact of Unmanned Aerial System Observations on Numerical Weather Prediction in the Coastal Zone
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThe Trident Warrior observational field campaign conducted off the U.S. mid-Atlantic coast in July 2013 included the deployment of an unmanned aerial system (UAS) with several payloads on board for atmospheric and ...
