How to perform the experiments • Impact of the bias correction
How to perform the experiments - First of all one need to have precomputed first guesses - Use these guesses to do series of passive analyses means do screening and minimization without 6h forecast - Normally, one-month period is enough to check the functionality of the applied bias correction scheme. - Before starting the series of passive analyses, it is recommended to change the blacklisting rules to have as much as possible active observation, or at least passive observations during the minimization. this means empty the file LISTE_LOC, and change the rules in the file mf_blacklist.b and recopile your pack to have new executable. NOTE: this executable is meant for the monitoring purpose ONLY and not suitable for any assimilation study !
How to check the necessary information for monitoring • Example of odb request: • cat >myview.sql <<EOF • SELECT • obstype,statid, varno,press_rl,sensor,fov@atovs, an_depar, fg_depar, obsvalue, biasctrl, predictor[1]@atovs_pred • FROM hdr,desc,body,atovs,atovs_pred • WHERE ((varno /= 91 ) AND (an_depar is not NULL)) • EOF • Where: • fg_depar- bias corrected O-B • an_depar- O-A • biasctrl - the applied bias correction • To have the uncorrected O-B = fg_depar + biasctrl
One can plot the corrected and non-corrected departures Dashed line: uncorrected departure Bold: analysis bias Solid line: first-guess bias Lower plot: number of active obs
