The Effect of Targeted Dropsonde Observations during the 1999 Winter Storm Reconnaissance Program
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In this paper, the effects of targeted dropsonde observations on operational global numerical weather analyses and forecasts made at the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) are evaluated. The data were ...
Adaptive Sampling with the Ensemble Transform Kalman Filter. Part II: Field Program Implementation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The practical application of the ensemble transform Kalman filter (ET KF), used in recent Winter Storm Reconnaissance (WSR) programs by the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP), is described. The ET KF ...
A Comparison of Adaptive Observing Guidance for Atlantic Tropical Cyclones
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Airborne adaptive observations have been collected for more than two decades in the neighborhood of tropical cyclones, to attempt to improve short-range forecasts of cyclone track. However, only simple subjective strategies ...
Interpretation of Adaptive Observing Guidance for Atlantic Tropical Cyclones
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Adaptive observing guidance products for Atlantic tropical cyclones are compared using composite techniques that allow one to quantitatively examine differences in the spatial structures of the guidance maps and relate ...
The North Pacific Experiment (NORPEX-98): Targeted Observations for Improved North American Weather Forecasts
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The objectives and preliminary results of an interagency field program, the North Pacific Experiment (NORPEX), which took place between 14 January and 27 February 1998, are described. NORPEX represents an effort to directly ...
THORPEX Research and the Science of Prediction
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he Observing System Research and Predictability Experiment (THORPEX) was a 10-yr, international research program organized by the World Meteorological Organization?s World Weather Research Program. THORPEX was motivated ...
