AN EVALUATION OF HYBRID VARIATIONAL-ENSEMBLE DATA ASSIMILATION FOR THE NCEP GFS
(2012)
Several variants of hybrid data assimilation algorithms have been developed and tested within recent years, particularly for numerical weather prediction (NWP). The hybrid algorithms are designed to combine the strengths ...
VARIATIONAL DATA ASSIMILATION OF SOIL MOISTURE INFORMATION
(2005-04-20)
This research examines the feasibility of using observations of land surface temperatures (in principle available from satellite observations) to initialize soil moisture (which is not available on a continental scale). ...
Assimilation of trace gas retrievals with the Local Ensemble Transform Kalman Filter
(2009)
Over the 50 year history of Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP), the focus has been on the modeling and prediction of meteorological parameters such as surface pressure, temperature, wind, and precipitation. However, due ...
Mars Weather and Predictability: Modeling and Ensemble Data Assimilation of Spacecraft Observations
(2011)
Combining the perspectives of spacecraft observations and the GFDL Mars General Circulation Model (MGCM) in the framework of ensemble data assimilation leads to an improved understanding of the weather and climate of Mars ...
APPLICATIONS OF ENSEMBLE FORECAST SENSITIVITY TO OBSERVATIONS FOR IMPROVING NUMERICAL WEATHER PREDICTION
(2018)
Massive amounts of observations are assimilated every day into modern Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) systems, and more are being deployed. The large volume of data prevents thorough monitoring and screening (QC) the ...
The role of the Indian Ocean sector and sea surface salinity for prediction of the coupled Indo-Pacific system
(2016)
The purpose of this dissertation is to evaluate the potential downstream influence of the Indian Ocean (IO) on El Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) forecasts through the oceanic pathway of the Indonesian Throughflow (ITF), ...
