  1. Hybrid variational-ensemble data assimilation(HVEDAS) Daryl T. Kleist1,3Dave Parrish1, John Derber1,Jeff Whitaker2, Kayo Ide3, & Xuguang Wang4 1NOAA/NCEP/EMC, 2NOAA/ESRL, 3University of Maryland-College Park, 4University of Oklahoma High Impact Weather Working Group Workshop24 February, 2011 – Norman, OK

  2. Variational Data Assimilation J : Penalty (Fit to background + Fit to observations + Constraints) x’ : Analysis increment (xa – xb) ; where xb is a background BVar : Background error covariance H : Observations (forward) operator (eg. CRTM) R : Observation error covariance (Instrument + representativeness) yo’ : Observation innovations Jc : Constraints (physical quantities, balance/noise, etc.) B is typically static and estimated a-priori/offline

  3. Motivation • Current background error covariance (applied operationally) in VAR • Isotropic recursive filters • Poor handle on cross-variable covariance • Minimal flow-dependence added • Implicit flow-dependence through linearization in normal mode constraint (Kleist et al. 2009) • Flow-dependent variances (only for wind, temperature, and pressure) based on background tendencies • Tuned NMC-based estimate (lagged forecast pairs)

  4. Hybrid Variational-Ensemble • Incorporate ensemble perturbations directly into variational cost function through extended control variable • Lorenc (2003), Buehner (2005), Wang et. al. (2007), etc. bf & be: weighting coefficients for fixed and ensemble covariance respectively xt: (total increment) sum of increment from fixed/static B (xf) and ensemble B ak: extended control variable; :ensemble perturbation L: correlation matrix [localization on ensemble perturbations]

  6. Hybrid with (global) GSI • Control variable has been implemented into GSI 3DVAR* • Full B preconditioning (Wang 2011) • Working on extensions to B1/2 preconditioned minimization options • Spectral filter for horizontal part of A • Eventually replace with (anisotropic) recursive filters • Recursive filter used for vertical • Dual resolution capability • Ensemble can be from different resolution than background/analysis (vertical levels are the exception) • Various localization options for A • Grid units or scale height • Level dependent (plans to expand) • Option to apply TLNMC (Kleist et al. 2009) to analysis increment *Acknowledgement: Dave Parrish for original implementation of extended control variable

  7. Single Observation Single 850mb Tv observation (1K O-F, 1K error)

  8. Single Observation Single ps observation (-2mb O-F, 1mb error) near center of Hurricane Ike

  9. Single Observation Single 850mb zonal wind observation (3 m/s O-F, 1m/s error) in Hurricane Ike circulation

  11. Hybrid Var-EnKF GFS experiment • Model • GFS deterministic (T574L64; post July 2010 version – current operational version) • GFS ensemble (T254L64) • 80 ensemble members, EnKF update, GSI for observation operators • Observations • All operationally available observations (including radiances) • Includes early (GFS) and late (GDAS/cycled) cycles as in production • Dual-resolution/Coupled • High resolution control/deterministic component • Includes TC Relocation on guess • Ensemble is recentered every cycle about hybrid analysis • Discard ensemble mean analysis • Satellite bias corrections • Coefficients come from GSI/VAR • Parameter settings • 1/3 static B, 2/3 ensemble • Fixed localization: 800km & 1.5 scale heights • Test Period • 15 July 2010 – 15 October 2010 (first two weeks ignored for “spin-up”)

  13. Forecast Fits to Obs (Tropical Winds) Forecasts from hybrid analyses fit observation much better.

  15. Hybrid versus 3DVAR Track Error

  16. Hybrid versus 3DVAR Intensity Bias

  17. HVEDAS (3D) for GDAS/GFS • Prototype dual-resolution, two-way coupled hybrid Var/EnKF system outperforms standard 3DVAR in GFS experiments • 2010 Hurricane Season (August 15 through October 31 2010) run off-site • Emphasis on AC, RMSE, TC Tracks • Plan underway to implement into GDAS/GFS operationally • Target: Spring 2012 (subject to many potential issues) • Porting of codes/scripts back to IBM P6 • Cost analysis (will everything fit in production suite?) • More thorough (pre-implementation) testing and evaluation • More test periods (including NH winter) • Other/more verification metrics • Potential moratorium associated with move to new NCEP facility • Issues • Weighting between ensemble and static B • Localization • How should EnKF be used within ensemble forecasting paradigm?

  18. HVEDAS Extension to other Applications • Expand hybrid to 4D • Hybrid within ‘traditional 4DVAR’ (with adjoint) • Pure ensemble 4DVAR (non-adjoint) • Ensemble 4DVAR with static B supplement (non-adjoint) • Non-GFS applications in development • NASA GEOS-5 (GMAO) • NAM (Dave Parrish, others) • Hurricanes/HWRF (Mingjing Tong, HFIP, many collaborators) • Storm-scale initialization (Jacob Carley, collaborators) • RR (Xuguang Wang, Ming Xue, Stan Benjamin, Jeff Whitaker, Steve Weygandt, others) • NCEP strives to have single DA system to develop, maintain, and run operationally (global, mesoscale, severe weather, hurricanes, etc.) • GSI (including hybrid development) is community code supported through DTC • EnKF used for GFS-based hybrid being expanded for use with other applications

  20. Applications of hybrid DA • WRFVAR based hybrid (Wang et al 2008ab, MWR) • Application for hurricane track forecasts (Wang 2011, WAF) • For radar data assimilation for hurricanes, Li et al. • FAA application with GSI-based hybrid, Zhu et al. Li et al. 2011

  21. GSI-based ‘ensemble 4DVAR’ • A natural extension of 3DVAR-based hybrid with no static covariance B. • Temporal evolution of the increment is obtained through evolved ensemble perturbations in the assimilation window. • ens4dvar is a 4DVAR with no need for tangent linear and adjoint of the forecast model (Liu et al. 2009).
