OBS at 2004/08/10/06UTC 3 hr accumulated rain GOES-9 WV image Assl. NOAA 16 ATOVS, +12hr 3hr Precip. (valid time : 2004081006) EXP CNTL
Used MODIS polar winds • Over ocean IR: above 700hPa WV: above 550hPa • Over land IR,WV: above 400hPa as ECMWF do. • Data thinning 140km as ECMWF, still work on for improvement with QC
MODIS polar wind Before QC After QC
Radar Data Assimilation • Status • S-band Reflectivity (Jin do, and Mt. Kwangdok) • S-band Doppler wind & reflectivity (Gunsan and Pyungtaek) • 3dVar 10km 3-hourly update • Plan • Extend to C-band reflectivity (5 sites, i.e., Gunsan, Is. Backryung, Donghae, Mt. Myunbong, Kosan)
No Radar Radar 9th April 2005
Unified 3dVar (U3dVar) • Motivation - Common code share for global and regional DA (observations, preconditioning, background error statistics, minimization algorithm, observation operator etc) • Plan (2005) - Background error tuning (theoretical and empirical approach) - Improvement of observation data processing ( BUFR format, QC … ) - Introduction of satellite radiance / SSMI and GPS (2006) - FGAT and outer loop for adaptive QC - Test at operational frame (T426L40 Global Model with 6hr cycle / 10km WRF regional Model with 3hr cycle)
Wishes • Make more volume of satellite based observation available through GTS and/or Internet • Share forward operators (such as radiative transfer code) and quality control softwares • Stimulate exchange of research findings on data assimilation with new satellite observations • Encourage close communication between NWP community and satellite meteorology community
