Relocation Scheme (on eta-surface, maximum to 4 tropical cyclones): • apply filter scheme to get basic flows(filter out L< 1200km) Ub • (2) Compute perturbation fieldsas the residual of the basic flow from total fields • Up = U – Ub • (3) Interpolate sigma=.85 perturbation wind to TC centered polar coordinates and compute azimuthally averaged tangential wind speed at 24 directions Up(24) • (4) Determine the TC-edge locations, • From the starting location, search outward at 24 directions to find the first place that • a. v < 6 m/s and dv/dr < 4x10-6, or b. v < 3 m/s until 800km end • (5) compute non-TC perturbation fieldsby the 2-pass Barnes analysis Up_ntc • (6) compute TC circulationas the residual of non-TC perturbation from the total perturbation fields Up_tc = Up – Up_ntc
Skip the relocation scheme when: • The distance between (obs – firstguess) < 1 grid • The Max. wind of < 15m/s • The center is too close to domain LB < 300km • The center is too close to land ( >10m) < 200km ( for eta-coord.)

TC Bogus bogusing of the synthetic observationsdeveloped by Jen-Ho Chen Fields: 1. Winds: Ranking vortex + latest 6 hr movement of the cyclone 2. Mass: Gradient wind balance Distributions: 1. about 40 synthetic observations (depends on the size of TC) 2. every 0.5 degrees from the center (36 directions, TC edge ≈ 6m/s, asymmetry) 3 . 21 standard pressure levels in vertical (1000 to 150 hPa)
