Content • Project Ideas • Data • Analysis Tool • First results Quelle: www.wolkenatlas.de Bad Ragaz Nov. 2004 FORM-Meeting
Project Ideas • Development of 3D - 4D analysis system (with focus on Foehn in the Rhine Valley) • Wind-pressure field interaction • Cross Validation • Comparison of foehn in the Rhine Valley and Wipp Valley • Model Comparison (MM5, MesoNH, MC2) • Intercomparison (on a common grid) • Model - Analysis • Development of Nowcasting tool Bad Ragaz Nov. 2004 FORM-Meeting
Data • Surface stations • Radiosondes • Lidar • Radar • Sodar • Windprofiler • Aircrafts (MAP, AMDARs) • Dropsondes • Constant Level Balloons From MAP-Data-Center, with friendly support by Esther Häller Special Project at ECMWF Bad Ragaz Nov. 2004 FORM-Meeting
Analysis Tool VERAXX • New analysis method similar to VERA Variational analysis + fingerprints (dynamic downscaling) • Development of new data-quality-control (Bayesian) • Considering of anisotropy in data distribution and in nature in space and time • Calculates on a regular grid • Necessary because of higher dimensions • Using cascading system and nesting Bad Ragaz Nov. 2004 FORM-Meeting
