Progress, Problems, and Prospects in Meteorological Data Assimilation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A summary of recent research in meteorological data assimilation is presented, together with an assessment of the current state of the field. The primary emphasis is placed upon those recent papers dealing with real-data ...
The National Centers for Environmental Prediction: Operational Climate, Ocean, and Weather Prediction for the 21st Century
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The National Meteorological Center is being restructured to serve a broader mission, which includes operational climate and ocean prediction as well as short-range weather prediction. Its successor organization is called ...
A Numerical Study of the Effect of a Coastal Irregularity on the Sea Breeze
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The modification of the sea breeze circulation by irregular coastlines is examined by integrating a three-dimensional nonlinear numerical sea breeze model with a large bay incorporated into the surface boundary conditions. ...
DEVELOPMENT OF A LIMITED AREA FINE-MESH PREDICTION MODEL
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A limited area, fine-mesh, primitive equation barotropic model has been integrated using data observed at 500 mb. The lateral boundary conditions used in the model required that no change occur on the boundary during the ...
On an Efficient Scheme for the Numerical Integration of a Primitive-Equation Barotropic Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A new scheme is presented for the numerical integration of the quasi-static system of hydrodynamical equations. The main advantage of the proposed method is its efficiency for the economical production of short-range, ...
On the Efficient Reduction, of Truncation Error in Numerical Weather Prediction Models
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Second- and fourth-order accurate finite-difference approximations of the equations governing a free surface autobarotropic fluid are compared with each other and with a second-order approximation on a one-half mesh. It ...
Maturity of Operational Numerical Weather Prediction: Medium Range
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In 1939 Rossby demonstrated the usefulness of the linearized perturbation of the equations of motion for weather prediction and thus made possible the first successful numerical forecasts of the weather by Charney et al. ...
