5 WSN05 6 Sep 2005 Toulouse, France Radar Quality Control & Remapping Quality Control –AP & Clutter detection –Doppler radial velocity unfolding Remapping –Matches data spacing to model resolution –Eases reflectivity mosaicking –Can be viewed as a form of “superobbing” –Local least-squares interpolation/smoothing Quadratic in horizontal, Linear in vertical

6 WSN05 6 Sep 2005 Toulouse, France Remapping to  x = 2 km

7 WSN05 6 Sep 2005 Toulouse, France CAPS 3DVAR System General form Rewritten in incremental form Error correlation implemented by means of a recursive filter. Can be applied in multi-grid fashion Dynamic constraint: weak constraint: anelastic mass continuity

8 WSN05 6 Sep 2005 Toulouse, France Radar Ingest- Reflectivity Cloud analysis system –Remapped Satellite Images (Vis and IR) –Surface observations of cloud bases –Reflectivity converted to hydrometeors Rain, hail, dry snow, wet snow Cloud water quantity and latent heating estimated using a lifted-parcel with entrainment

9 WSN05 6 Sep 2005 Toulouse, France 3DVAR Applied to Fort Worth Tornadic Storm Fort Worth, Texas area tornadoes of 28 Mar 2000 3-km ARPS Forecast 23 UTC-06 UTC nested in 9-km forecast 18 UTC – 06 UTC Six 10-min analysis cycles (1 hour) using NEXRAD data 22 UTC-23 UTC. Experiments: –Wind and Cloud Assimilated –Wind Alone –Cloud Alone Ming Hu et al. papers submitted to MWR

14 WSN05 6 Sep 2005 Toulouse, France Fort Worth Case Summary Similar situation observed for second tornado about 15 min later. Good forecast results for this case primarily due to cloud & diabatic portion of analysis. Winds provide improvement to forecasted vorticity. Applicable to on-going convection; other case studies show utility of radial wind assimilation in convection-initiation forecast situations.

17 WSN05 6 Sep 2005 Toulouse, France 2004 Real-time Use Summary Spin-up at 4-km is largely eliminated using radar and satellite data. Good results even with a static analysis- initialization.

18 WSN05 6 Sep 2005 Toulouse, France Sample of Ongoing & Future Work with These Tools Testing different lengths of assimilation cycle and total assimilation window length Will also test using 3DVAR output in Incremental Analysis Updating More real-time high-resolution test periods in collaboration with SPC/NSSL Smaller-domain real-time system run daily http://www.caps.ou.edu/wx
