The present study designs experiments on the direct assimilation of
radial velocity and reflectivity data collected by an S-band Doppler weather
radar (CINRAD WSR-98D) at the Hefei Station and the reanalysis data produced by
the United States National Centers for Environmental Prediction using the Weather
Research and Forecasting (WRF) model, the WRF model with a three-dimensional
variational (3DVAR) data assimilation system and the WRF model with an ensemble
square root filter (EnSRF) data assimilation system. In addition, the present
study analyzes a Meiyu front heavy rainfall process that occurred in the Yangtze
-Huaihe River Basin from July 4 to July 5, 2003, through numerical simulation.
The results show the following. (1) The assimilation of the radar radial velocity
data can increase the perturbations in the low-altitude atmosphere over the heavy
rainfall region, enhance the convective activities and reduce excessive simulated
precipitation. (2) The 3DVAR assimilation method significantly adjusts the
horizontal wind field. The assimilation of the reflectivity data improves the
microphysical quantities and dynamic fields in the model. In addition, the
assimilation of the radial velocity and reflectivity data can better adjust the
wind fields and improve the intensity and location of the simulated radar echo
bands. (3) The EnSRF assimilation method can assimilate more small-scale wind
field information into the model. The assimilation of the reflectivity data alone
can relatively accurately forecast the rainfall centers. In addition, the
assimilation of the radial velocity and reflectivity data can improve the
location of the simulated radar echo bands. (4) The use of the 3DVAR and EnSRF
assimilation methods to assimilate the radar radial velocity and reflectivity
data can improve the forecast of precipitation, rain-band areal coverage and the
center location and intensity of precipitation. 相似文献

This paper examines how assimilating surface observations can improve the analysis and forecast ability of a fourdimensional Variational Doppler Radar Analysis System(VDRAS).Observed surface temperature and winds are assimilated together with radar radial velocity and reflectivity into a convection-permitting model using the VDRAS four-dimensional variational(4DVAR) data assimilation system.A squall-line case observed during a field campaign is selected to investigate the performance of the technique.A single observation experiment shows that assimilating surface observations can influence the analyzed fields in both the horizontal and vertical directions.The surface-based cold pool,divergence and gust front of the squall line are all strengthened through the assimilation of the single surface observation.Three experiments—assimilating radar data only,assimilating radar data with surface data blended in a mesoscale background,and assimilating both radar and surface observations with a 4DVAR cost function—are conducted to examine the impact of the surface data assimilation.Independent surface and wind profiler observations are used for verification.The result shows that the analysis and forecast are improved when surface observations are assimilated in addition to radar observations.It is also shown that the additional surface data can help improve the analysis and forecast at low levels.Surface and low-level features of the squall line—including the surface warm inflow,cold pool,gust front,and low-level wind—are much closer to the observations after assimilating the surface data in VDRAS. 相似文献

The relationship between the radar reflectivity factor(Z) and the rainfall rate(R) is recalculated based on radar observations from 10 Doppler radars and hourly rainfall measurements at 6529 automatic weather stations over the Yangtze–Huaihe River basin. The data were collected by the National 973 Project from June to July 2013 for severe convective weather events. The Z–R relationship is combined with an empirical qr–R relationship to obtain a new Z–qr relationship, which is then used to correct the observational operator for radar reflectivity in the three-dimensional variational(3 DVar) data assimilation system of the Weather Research and Forecasting(WRF) model to improve the analysis and prediction of severe convective weather over the Yangtze–Huaihe River basin. The performance of the corrected reflectivity operator used in the WRF 3 DVar data assimilation system is tested with a heavy rain event that occurred over Jiangsu and Anhui provinces and the surrounding regions on 23 June 2013. It is noted that the observations for this event are not included in the calculation of the Z–R relationship. Three experiments are conducted with the WRF model and its 3 DVar system, including a control run without the assimilation of reflectivity data and two assimilation experiments with the original and corrected reflectivity operators. The experimental results show that the assimilation of radar reflectivity data has a positive impact on the rainfall forecast within a few hours with either the original or corrected reflectivity operators, but the corrected reflectivity operator achieves a better performance on the rainfall forecast than the original operator. The corrected reflectivity operator extends the effective time of radar data assimilation for the prediction of strong reflectivity. The physical variables analyzed with the corrected reflectivity operator present more reasonable mesoscale structures than those obtained with the original reflectivity operator. This suggests that the new statistical Z–R relationship is more suitable for predicting severe convective weather over the Yangtze–Huaihe River basin than the Z–R relationships currently in use. 相似文献

The advent of modern geostationary satellite infrared radiance observations has noticeably improved numerical weather forecasts and analyses.However,compared to midlatitude weather systems and tropical cyclones,research into using infrared radiance observations for numerically predicting and analyzing tropical mesoscale convective systems remain mostly fallow.Since tropical mesoscale convective systems play a crucial role in regional and global weather,this deficit should be addressed.This study is the first of its kind to examine the potential impacts of assimilating all-sky upper tropospheric infrared radiance observations on the prediction of a tropical squall line.Even though these all-sky infrared radiance observations are not directly affected by lower-tropospheric winds,the high-frequency assimilation of these all-sky infrared radiance observations improved the analyses of the tropical squall line’s outflow position.Aside from that,the assimilation of all-sky infrared radiance observations improved the analyses and prediction of the squall line’s cloud field.Finally,reducing the frequency of assimilating these all-sky infrared radiance observations weakened these improvements to the analyzed outflow position,as well as the analyses and predictions of cloud fields. 相似文献

Convective Scale Structure and Evolution of a Squall Line Observed by C-Band Dual Doppler Radar in an Arid Region of Northwestern China 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
A long-lived and loosely organized squall line moved
rapidly across Urumqi, the capital city of Xinjiang Uygur
Autonomous Region of China on 26 June 2005, generating hail and
strong winds. The squall line was observed by a dual Doppler radar
system in a field experiment conducted in 2004 and 2005 by the
Chinese Academy of Meteorological Sciences and the local
meteorological bureau in northwestern China. The 3D wind fields
within the squall line were retrieved through dual Doppler analyses
and a variational Doppler radar analysis system (VDRAS). The
formation and structure of the squall line as well as the genesis
and evolution of embedded convective cells were investigated. During
its life period, the squall line consisted of six storm cells
extending about 100 km in length, and produced hail of about 25 mm
in diameter and strong surface winds up to 11 m s-1. Radar
observations revealed a broad region of stratiform rain in a
meso-β cyclone, with the squall line located to the
west of this. Two meso-γ scale vortices were found within
the squall line. Compared to typical squall lines in moist regions,
such as Guangdong Province and Shanghai, which tend to be around
300--400 km in length, have echo tops of 17--19 km, and produce
maximum surface winds of about 25 m s-1 and temperature
variations of about 8oC this squall line system had weaker
maximum reflectivity (55 dBZ), a lower echo top (13 km) and
smaller extension (about 100 km), relatively little stratiform
rainfall preceding the convective line, and a similar moving speed
and temperature variation at the surface. 相似文献

This study investigated the impact of multiple-Doppler radar data and surface data assimilation on forecasts of heavy rainfall over the central Korean Peninsula;the Weather Research and Forecasting(WRF) model and its three-dimensional variational data assimilation system(3DVAR) were used for this purpose. During data assimilation,the WRF 3DVAR cycling mode with incremental analysis updates(IAU) was used. A maximum rainfall of 335.0 mm occurred during a 12-h period from 2100 UTC 11 July 2006 to 0900 UTC 12 July 2006.Doppler radar data showed that the heavy rainfall was due to the back-building formation of mesoscale convective systems(MCSs).New convective cells were continuously formed in the upstream region,which was characterized by a strong southwesterly low-level jet(LLJ).The LLJ also facilitated strong convergence due to horizontal wind shear,which resulted in maintenance of the storms.The assimilation of both multiple-Doppler radar and surface data improved the accuracy of precipitation forecasts and had a more positive impact on quantitative forecasting(QPF) than the assimilation of either radar data or surface data only.The back-building characteristic was successfully forecasted when the multiple-Doppler radar data and surface data were assimilated.In data assimilation experiments,the radar data helped forecast the development of convective storms responsible for heavy rainfall,and the surface data contributed to the occurrence of intensified low-level winds.The surface data played a significant role in enhancing the thermal gradient and modulating the planetary boundary layer of the model,which resulted in favorable conditions for convection. 相似文献

By sampling perturbed state vectors from each ensemble prediction run at properly selected time levels in the vicinity of the analysis time, the recently proposed time-expanded sampling approach can enlarge the ensemble size without increasing the number of prediction runs and, hence, can reduce the computational cost of an ensemble-based filter. In this study, this approach is tested for the first time with real radar data from a tornadic thunderstorm. In particular, four assimilation experiments were performed to test the time-expanded sampling method against the conventional ensemble sampling method used by ensemble- based filters. In these experiments, the ensemble square-root filter (EnSRF) was used with 45 ensemble members generated by the time-expanded sampling and conventional sampling from 15 and 45 prediction runs, respectively, and quality-controlled radar data were compressed into super-observations with properly reduced spatial resolutions to improve the EnSRF performances. The results show that the time-expanded sampling approach not only can reduce the computational cost but also can improve the accuracy of the analysis, especially when the ensemble size is severely limited due to computational constraints for real-radar data assimilation. These potential merits are consistent with those previously demonstrated by assimilation experiments with simulated data. 相似文献

A Multivariate Empirical Orthogonal Function-Based Scheme for the Balanced Initial Ensemble Generation of an Ensemble Kalman Filter 
下载免费PDF全文
下载免费PDF全文 The initial ensemble perturbations for an ensemble data assimilation system are expected to reasonably sample model uncertainty at the time of analysis to further reduce analysis uncertainty. Therefore, the careful choice of an initial ensemble perturbation method that dynamically cycles ensemble perturbations is required for the optimal performance of the system. Based on the multivariate empirical orthogonal function (MEOF) method, a new ensemble initialization scheme is developed to generate balanced initial perturbations for the ensemble Kalman filter (EnKF) data assimilation, with a reasonable consideration of the physical relationships between different model variables. The scheme is applied in assimilation experiments with a global spectral atmospheric model and with real observations. The proposed perturbation method is compared to the commonly used method of spatially-correlated random perturbations. The comparisons show that the model uncertainties prior to the first analysis time, which are forecasted from the balanced ensemble initial fields, maintain a much more reasonable spread and a more accurate forecast error covariance than those from the randomly perturbed initial fields. The analysis results are further improved by the balanced ensemble initialization scheme due to more accurate background information. Also, a 20-day continuous assimilation experiment shows that the ensemble spreads for each model variable are still retained in reasonable ranges without considering additional perturbations or inflations during the assimilation cycles, while the ensemble spreads from the randomly perturbed initialization scheme decrease and collapse rapidly. 相似文献

An ensemble three-dimensional ensemble-variational(3DEnVar)data assimilation(E3DA)system was developed within the Weather Research and Forecasting model’s 3DVar framework to assimilate radar data to improve convective forecasting.In this system,ensemble perturbations are updated by an ensemble of 3DEnVar and the ensemble forecasts are used to generate the flow-dependent background error covariance.The performance of the E3DA system was first evaluated against one experiment without radar DA and one radar DA experiment with 3DVar,using a severe storm case over southeastern China on 5 June 2009.Results indicated that E3DA improved the quantitative forecast skills of reflectivity and precipitation,as well as their spatial distributions in terms of both intensity and coverage over 3DVar.The root-mean-square error of radial velocity from 3DVar was reduced by E3DA,with stronger low-level wind closer to observation.It was also found that E3DA improved the wind,temperature and water vapor mixing ratio,with the lowest errors at the surface and upper levels.3DVar showed moderate improvements in comparison with forecasts without radar DA.A diagnosis of the analysis revealed that E3DA increased vertical velocity,temperature,and humidity corresponding to the added reflectivity,while 3DVar failed to produce these adjustments,because of the lack of reasonable cross-variable correlations.The performance of E3DA was further verified using two convective cases over southern and southeastern China,and the reflectivity forecast skill was also improved over 3DVar. 相似文献

Assimilation configurations have significant impacts on analysis results and subsequent forecasts. A squall line system that occurred on 23 April 2007 over southern China was used to investigate the impacts of the data assimilation frequency of radar data on analyses and forecasts. A three-dimensional variational system was used to assimilate radial velocity data,and a cloud analysis system was used for reflectivity assimilation with a 2-h assimilation window covering the initial stage of the squall line. Two operators of radar reflectivity for cloud analyses corresponding to single-and double-moment schemes were used. In this study, we examined the sensitivity of assimilation frequency using 10-, 20-, 30-, and 60-min assimilation intervals. The results showed that analysis fields were not consistent with model dynamics and microphysics in general;thus, model states, including dynamic and microphysical variables, required approximately 20 min to reach a new balance after data assimilation in all experiments. Moreover, a 20-min data assimilation interval generally produced better forecasts for both single-and double-moment schemes in terms of equitable threat and bias scores. We conclude that a higher data assimilation frequency can produce a more intense cold pool and rear inflow jets but does not necessarily lead to a better forecast. 相似文献

本文利用包含复杂冰相微物理过程的WRF（Weather Research and Forecasting）模式,针对2007年4月23日发生在我国华南地区的一次典型飑线天气过程,分别进行了确定性预报和集合预报试验,发现确定性预报能大致捕捉到飑线系统的发生发展过程,但对飑线后部的层云区模拟效果较差。集合预报能够有效地减少模式的不确定性,大部分集合成员对飑线的模拟效果优于确定性预报。进一步将集合预报得到的40个成员作为背景场,采用EnSRF（Ensemble Square Root Filter）同化多普勒天气雷达资料,并将分析得到的集合作为初始场进行集合预报,通过与未同化雷达资料的集合对比,考察了EnSRF同化多部雷达资料对飑线系统的影响。结果表明:EnSRF雷达资料同化增加了模式初始场的中小尺度信息,大部分集合成员的分析场能够较准确地再现飑线的热力场、动力场和微物理场的细致特征,并且模拟出飑线后部的层云结构。通过对EnSRF分析的集合进行模拟发现,大部分集合成员较未同化雷达资料时模拟效果有明显改善。同化后的集合预报ETS（Equitable Threat Score）评分最高,其次是未同化的集合预报,确定性预报的最低。 相似文献

利用自主构建的基于风暴尺度的WRF-En SRF系统同化模拟多普勒雷达资料,讨论了微物理方案及其参数的不确定性对同化效果的影响。试验采用组合微物理方案以及扰动微物理方案中的参数的方法,结果表明,模式误差非常小甚至可以忽略时,使用单个微物理方案并扰动参数能够使真实风暴的主要特征在分析场中较未扰动参数得到更好地反映;存在模式误差时,使用单个微物理方案并扰动参数后,分析场中的各要素的分布较未扰动参数更加接近真实风暴,同化效果得到改进,且改进效果比模式误差非常小时更为明显;存在模式误差时,组合微物理方案并扰动参数后,分析场中对流云团的形态较未组合方案或未扰动参数更接近真实风暴,主要要素场的配置最能反映真实风暴的特征,同化效果最为理想。结果也表明,扰动参数时、参数扰动范围较小时,同化效果较优。 相似文献

EnSRF雷达资料同化对一次强对流天气模拟的影响研究 总被引：2，自引：2，他引：0
利用ARPS(Advanced Regional Prediction System)模式和具有流依赖背景误差协方差的集合均方根滤波(Ensemble Square Root Filter,简称En SRF)方法,通过同化多部多普勒雷达资料,对2013年6月23日的强对流天气过程进行了研究。首先对比同化试验和观测的组合反射率因子,检验了同化效果。通过计算均方根误差和离散度,进一步定量评估了同化结果。再对比模式变量,综合分析了En SRF雷达资料同化对模式热力、动力、湿度和微物理量等变量的影响。最后对集合平均场进行1 km的高分辨率数值模拟。结果表明:En SRF能够同化出与观测类似的对流系统,且减弱了南北部的虚假回波。径向风和反射率因子的均方根误差明显减少。En SRF雷达同化能够明显优化模式的初始场,同化试验的回波在垂直方向上范围增加,强度偏弱。在强对流区域,低层的冷池温度最多降低6 K,相对湿度最多增加30%。对流区域的雨水、冰晶和雪的混合比均有明显增加。模拟发现同化试验能够较好地模拟出对流系统的结构和位置。 相似文献

本文针对2009年6月5日发生在我国华东地区的一次中尺度对流过程（Mesoscale Convective System,简称MCS）,基于集合均方根滤波（Ensemble Square Root Filter,简称EnSRF）方法同化多部多普勒天气雷达资料,引入具有时空自适应理论优势的贝叶斯膨胀算法,通过与常数膨胀算法的对比,分析了两种膨胀算法对EnSRF同化效果的影响。结果表明:贝叶斯膨胀算法同化的雷达组合反射率因子在强对流中心处有所增强,改善了基于常数膨胀算法的EnSRF同化强对流系统偏弱的问题。相比常数膨胀算法,贝叶斯膨胀算法同化的冷池结构更合理,径向风和反射率因子的均方根误差均减少。进一步探讨贝叶斯膨胀算法对同化效果改善的原因,结果发现:贝叶斯膨胀参数的分布与反射率因子的均方根误差分布十分吻合,这表明贝叶斯膨胀算法可以在背景场均方根误差较大,即背景场与观测差距较大时,给出较大的膨胀参数,进而增加集合的背景场误差,使得观测权重增大,从而给出了较大的分析增量。对集合平均分析场进行了1小时的确定性预报发现,贝叶斯膨胀算法提高了预报模式对安徽与江苏交界处的强对流系统的模拟效果,回波强度更强,冷池强度和范围更大,且对于不同组合反射率因子的阀值,贝叶斯膨胀算法的评分（Equitable Threat Score,简称ETS）均高于常数膨胀算法。这表明贝叶斯膨胀算法有效地改进了基于常数膨胀算法的EnSRF同化雷达资料的效果。 相似文献

目前,北京地区的天气预报系统对局地对流性定量降水预报能力较弱,远不能满足人们生产、生活和防灾、减灾工作的需要。针对北京地区对提高0-12 h短时临近天气,尤其是夏季局地对流性降水预报能力的需求,基于中国气象局北京城市气象研究所变分多普勒雷达分析系统（VDRAS）的雷达热动力反演资料,建立了WRF模式初始化模块,采用四维资料同化（FDDA）方法,将VDRAS系统高时空分辨率三维热动力结构分析场资料同化到WRF模式中,实现了北京地区VDRAS分析场资料在WRF中尺度模式系统中的应用。通过降水个例的高分辨率同化模拟试验分析了雷达热动力反演资料同化对模式预报结果的影响。研究结果表明:雷达热动力反演资料的同化能够提高模式系统对近地面温、湿、风大气要素和降水过程的模拟能力,改善2 m比湿、降水落区、降水量级、降水时间的预报效果,减少降水漏报的现象。温度和比湿的同化比风的同化对模拟降水结果的改善更重要。虽然研究表明雷达热动力反演资料在WRF模式中的同化能够明显改善模式对选取降水个例的模拟效果,但其对模式尤其是数值业务模式系统预报效果的影响需要进一步更全面、更系统的检验,为业务化应用奠定更坚实的基础。 相似文献
