  1. Hurricane Radar DA • EnKFassimilation for Ike (2008) (Dong and Xue) • Hybrid-3DVAR DA for Ike (2008) (Li, Wang and Xue) • Assimilation of GBVTD wind retrieval for Typhoon Shaomei (2006) (Zhao et al.) • 3DVAR assimilation of airborne radar data for Ike (Du et al) • 3DVAR+Cloud Analysis of ground-based radars for Ike (2008), Meranti (2010), Jangmi (2008), Marokot (2009)

  2. EnKF DA of MSLP and Coastal Radar Data for Ike (2008)(ARPS Model and EnKF System) • ARPS model • 515x515x53 • Dx = 4km • dzmin=50m • dz=625m • Lin microphysical scheme • 32 member ensemble • ARPS EnKF code (EnSRF) • Inflation • 5% prior multiplicative • Posterior additive on wind and pt • Radar DA every 30 min for 6 hours Before landfall 6:07 UTC 09/13/2008

  3. EnKF DA of MSLP and Coastal Radar Data for Ike (2008)(ARPS Model and EnKF System) MSLP in DA Cycles (Dong and Xue 2011 QJ; Xue and Dong 2012)

  4. Increments from MSLP assimilation UV+P at 1km q at 1km MSLP enhances vortex and low-pressure system W + bg wind MSLP enhances warm-core MSLP enhances updrafts

  5. MSLP Forecasts Vr+MSLP best

  6. Impact on track forecast (Vr+MSLP) (Z+MSLP) Improvement on final track analysis Improvement on track forecast Improvement on final track analysis 10 min. interval of MSLP better track forecast

  7. Coastal Radar DA using WRF 3DVAR/Hybrid for Ike (2008) (Li, Wang and Xue 2011)

  8. Wind increments WRF 3DVAR w/ default spatial correlation scale WRF 3DVAR w/ reduced spatial correlation scale Hybrid w/ full ensemble cov. Hybrid with half ensemble cov.

  9. ETS scores for 3-hour precipitation Track and Intensity Forecasts

  10. Assimilation of airborne radar Vr data using ARPS 3DVAR for Hurricane Ike (2008) (work of Ph.D. student Ningzhu Du)

  11. Surface wind speed along four flight legs on Sept 12 from SFMR (Step Frequency Microwave Radiometer), CTRL, and Vr DA with 4 cycles

  12. Flight-level wind speed along four flight legs on Sept 12 from SFMR (Step Frequency Microwave Radiometer), CTRL, and Vr DA with 4 cycles

  13. Assimilation of GBVTD-Retrieved Winds from Single-Doppler Radar for Short-TermForecasting of Super Typhoon Saomai (0608) at Landfall Observed Z Ground-Based Velocity-Track Display technique (GBVTD) (Lee et al. 1999) is used to fill the Vr data gaps and obtain complete TC circulation in the inner core region Observed Vr GBVTD Retrieval of Vr (Zhao, Xue and Lee 2011QJ)

  14. Final Analysis Track and Intensity Fcsts Sfc wind speed and p Vertical x-section of speed No radar GBVTD Vr ETS scores GBVTD Vr No radar GBVTD
