6 Zürich 9th-12th, 2006EWGLAM/SRNWP meetings Complex wavelets for LAM (A. Deckmyn) ► Wavelets are (partially) localised in both grid point space and Fourier space. ► Diagonalization of B in wavelet space can reproduce local variations in the structure functions and standard deviations. ► Current work is focussing on reproducing 3D structure functions for different variables (Alex Deckmyn, Tomas Landelius, Loik Berre) Standard deviations of Temperature error at the lowest vertical level: from data (left) and from wavelet- B (right).

8 Zürich 9th-12th, 2006EWGLAM/SRNWP meetings Towards the assimilation of microwave surface sensitive channels from AMSU-A, AMSU-B & SSM/I over land F. KARBOU, E. GÉRARD, F. RABIER, E. BAZILE, Z. SAHLAOUI Over land:  Only microwave channels that are the least sensitive to the surface are assimilated  Remaining uncertainties about land emissivity and skin temperature  Existing emissivity models : facilitate the assimilation of channels that receive a contribution from surface  The models need accurate input parameters hardly available at global scale Need for alternatives to estimate the land emissivity New land surface emissivity parameterisations at Météo-France

9 Zürich 9th-12th, 2006EWGLAM/SRNWP meetings The parameterisations (Karbou et al. 2006*): 1)Dynamically varying emissivities derived from only one channel for each instrument 2) Averaged emissivities over 2 weeks prior to the assimilation period 3) Averaged emissivities + dynamically adjusted skin temperature from one channel for each instrument This talk: Results from the dynamical approach (1) * Karbou, F., E. Gérard, and F. Rabier, 2006, Microwave Land Emissivity and Skin Temperature for AMSU-A & -B Assimilation Over Land, Q. J. R. Meteorol. Soc. To appear.

11 Zürich 9th-12th, 2006EWGLAM/SRNWP meetings More low clouds in EXP More Stratocumulus Less precipitating clouds Less low clouds in EXP Low cloudiness difference field EXP-CTR (from 31 24-hour forecasts 15 Aug-14 Sept 2005) Results: Impact on the analysis fields: Large impact on the humidity field Results are given for AMSU-A & AMSU-B assimilation over land Similar results are obtained with SSM/I over land Great impact on the humidity and precipitation for both AMSU and SSM/I

13 Zürich 9th-12th, 2006EWGLAM/SRNWP meetings 3D-VAR data assimilation in Morocco ► Aladin cycle : cy25t1 ► Assimilation method :3d-var for upper air fields / Canari O.I. for the surface ► Assimilation cycle : every 6 hours ► Assimilation window :4,5h for short cutt off and 6h for long cutt off ► Jb : standard NMC ► Data used : conventional observations

14 Zürich 9th-12th, 2006EWGLAM/SRNWP meetings Temperature 12h forecast against radiosondes (top:rms, bottom:bias) Scores of temperature field (12h forecast) against radiosonde observations show : Slightly positive impact for bias Slightly negative impact on rms Humidity at 900hPa versus ARPEGE analysis (red: dynamical adaptation & blue: 3DVAR) The bias of humidity against ARPEGE analysis is reduced in low atmospheric levels (900 hPa) for all forecast ranges

15 Zürich 9th-12th, 2006EWGLAM/SRNWP meetings Impact study of ATOVS raw radiances ã Impact of AMSU-A is positive over areas with a lack of observations (tropical band, Sahara, ocean) ã In mid latitudes, the impact of AMSU-A raw radiances is less marked (conflict between several observation types). More sensitivity studies are needed to optimise the use of raw radiances P30 humidity field at 850hPa level
