RISThe National Meteorological Center's Spectral Statistical-Interpolation Analysis System
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: At the National Meteorological Center (NMC), a new analysis system is being extensively tested for possible use in the operational global data assimilation system. This analysis system is called the spectral statistical- ...
Evolution of the NMC Data Assimilation System: September 1978–January 1982
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The evolution of the NMC global data assimilation system in the period 1978?81 is presented. The improvements include revisions to the analysis programs and the replacement of the initialization and the prediction model. ...
The Behavior of Forecast Error Covariances for a Kalman Filter in Two Dimensions
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A Kalman filter algorithm is implemented for a linearized shallow-water model over the continental United States. It is used to assimilate simulated data from the existing radiosonde network, from the demonstration network ...
Three-Dimensional Variational Analysis with Spatially Inhomogeneous Covariances
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In this study, a global three-dimensional variational analysis system is formulated in model grid space. This formulation allows greater flexibility (e.g., inhomogeneity and anisotropy) for background error statistics. A ...
Retrieval of Moisture from Simulated GPS Slant-Path Water Vapor Observations Using 3DVAR with Anisotropic Recursive Filters
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Anisotropic recursive filters are implemented within a three-dimensional variational data assimilation (3DVAR) framework to efficiently model the effect of flow-dependent background error covariance. The background error ...
Regional Ensemble–Variational Data Assimilation Using Global Ensemble Forecasts
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: t the National Centers for Environmental Prediction, the global ensemble forecasts from the ensemble Kalman filter scheme in the Global Forecast System are applied in a regional three-dimensional (3D) and a four dimensional ...
The New Global Operational Analysis System at the National Meteorological Center
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: At the National Meteorological Center (NMC), a new analysis system was implemented into the operational Global Data Assimilation System on 25 June 1991. This analysis system is referred to as Spectral Statistical Interpolation ...
Four-Dimensional Variational Data Assimilation for the Blizzard of 2000
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Four-dimensional variational (4DVAR) data assimilation experiments for the East Coast winter storm of 25 January 2000 (i.e., ?blizzard of 2000?) were performed. This storm has received wide attention in the United States, ...
Introduction of the GSI into the NCEP Global Data Assimilation System
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: At the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP), a new three-dimensional variational data assimilation (3DVAR) analysis system was implemented into the operational Global Data Assimilation System (GDAS) on 1 ...
Improving Incremental Balance in the GSI 3DVAR Analysis System
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The gridpoint statistical interpolation (GSI) analysis system is a unified global/regional three-dimensional variational data assimilation (3DVAR) analysis code that has been under development for several years at the ...
